Creating a Matrix RAID configuration

The following example will step through the process of creating two RAID volumes (RAID 1 and 0) on a single array.

Procedure
  1. Follow the steps in Creating a two drive RAID 0 data volume to create a two drive RAID 0 volume. It is advised not to use the entire disk space for the first volume in order to have room for the second volume on the array. When completed, the Intel VROC GUI should show as follows. Next, click Create Volume.
  2. Select the NVMe Devices controller if not already selected. Then select Optimized Disk Performance (RAID 1). Finally, select Next to continue.
  3. Specify the Name of the volume or simply leave as default value. In this example it has been left as default (Volume_0000). Next, under the section “Do you want to add a volume to an existing array?” select Yes: NVMe_Array_<arrayNumber>. Then click Next.
    NOTE:

    The second array will consume the remaining space on the array that is available.

  4. Click Create Volume.
  5. Click OK to finish.
  6. Under the Volumes section, both new Arrays and RAID Volumes (Volume_0000 and Volume_0001) will appear. By selecting either RAID Volumes, the “Properties” pane (right) will refresh to show all properties and available options of the selected volume.
