Creating a New Configuration

You can use the MegaRAID Storage Manager software to create new storage configurations on systems with LSISAS controllers. You can create the following types of configurations:

Simple configuration specifies a limited number of settings and has the system select drives for you.

This option is the easiest way to create a virtual drive.

Advanced configuration lets you choose additional settings and customize virtual drive creation.

This option provides greater flexibility when creating virtual drives for your specific requirements.

This section describes the virtual drive parameters and explains how to create simple and advanced storage configurations.
