The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to easily configure the controllers, drives, and other storage-related devices installed on a server or on a workstation. The configuration utility simplifies the process of creating drive groups and virtual drives. You can use the Simple Configuration mode to have the MegaRAID Storage Manager software automatically create the best possible configuration using the available drives. You can use the Advanced Configuration mode to have greater flexibility than simple configuration, because you can select the drives and the virtual drive settings when you create a virtual drive. In addition, you can use the advanced configuration procedure to create spanned drive groups.

The MegaRAID Storage Manager software supports 240 virtual drive creation.

NOTE  When you access the MegaRAID Storage Manager software, select Full Access if you need to view the current configuration and to change the configuration. Select View Only if you need to only view and monitor the configuration.
