    摘要: A system and method for previewing a disk drive's disk data format (DDF) metadata before performing an “import” or “clear” method to make it available on a receiving system comprising a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array. A preview method is implemented such that the DDF metadata of one or more disk drives comprising a foreign configuration can be examined prior to importing or clearing the disk. New objects are derived from existing virtual disk and physical disk array objects that have the same characteristics as existing object definitions. These new objects are aggregated to comprise a new foreign configuration object when foreign metadata is discovered on a drive by a receiving RAID controller.

    摘要: Remote RAID system configuration may be implemented in an embedded and out-of-band manner using an information handling system configured, for example, as a RAID server. The remote RAID configuration may be implement, for example, on a RAID server system in the condition as it is supplied directly out-of-the-box to a user without requiring downloading of any additional software or firmware, without requiring presence of a management framework and plug in, and/or in a manner that is operating system (OS)-independent or that requires no OS to be present on the server. The RAID server may then be remotely reconfigured one or more times thereafter.

    摘要: An information handling system includes a plurality of storage enclosures, a plurality of logical storage units located in each storage enclosure, a controller connected to each of the plurality of logical storage units. The controller is configured to receive data regarding the plurality of logical storage units, and automatically execute an algorithm based on the received logical storage unit data to generate a mirrored storage configuration to be implemented, the mirrored storage configuration defining mirrored pairs of the plurality of logical storage units.
