Dell PowerEdge Server R450 RAID Configuration Steps

1. Press F2 to enter the settings (the boot map is found online, the interface is basically the same as the R450)

2. Enter device settings

3. Select the first one to enter the RAID controller


4. Enter the main menu

5. Here I will first take a look at my current RAID situation


6.1 Select the 4th physical disk management, you can see that there are 4 physical disks on my server that are already online.Two 500G SSDs are used as a RAID1 system, two 8T HDDs are used to mount data, and centos7 system is installed~

6.2, you can see that I currently have a RAID1 array, which is a RAID made by my two 500G solid-state hard drives, which is going to be used to install the system

7. Press ESC to return to the main menu, select the first one,Enter configuration management menu

8. Select the second one to create a virtual disk


9. As requiredRAID0 or RAID1 is required, other defaults are fine, go to select Physical Disks

10. Just select the default selection above, check the physical hard disk to be configured, and then select Apply Changes to apply the changes

11. Select ok

12. Others are by default. Name can be filled in or not. Mainly choose fast format, and then choose to create a virtual disk at the bottom

13. Check Confirm to select yes

14. At this time, re-enter the virtual disk management to see the RAID situation. You can see that there are already two RAID1s. The one below is the two we just configured.8T mechanical hard disk group RAID1 array

15. See the article on server configuration on CSDNMore, I will share an article about installing centos7 system on Dell servers later, I hope to help those who need it, and make a note for myself~
