Creating RAID Devices

Now that you have created the necessary RAID partitions for the /vz partition, you can make a RAID array on their basis. To do this:

1. On the Please Select a Device screen, click the Create button.
2. On the Create Storage screen, select the RAID Device radio button, and click Next .

   

3. In the Make RAID Device dialog, set the following parameters for the RAID device:
   1. Specify a mount point in the Mount Point field. In our case, the mount point should be /vz .
   2. Set the RAID file system type in the File System Type field to ext4 .
   3. Select a name for the RAID array in the RAID Device field.
   4. Choose the RAID level in the RAID Level field. You can choose any of the RAID levels available on the drop-down menu.
   5. The RAID Members section lists all your software RAID partitions. Select the check boxes next to the RAID partitions you created for the /vz partition.
   6. Specify the number of spare partitions in the Number of spares field. Spare partitions can be configured in RAID 1 and RAID 5 implementations only.

   When you are done, click OK . The created RAID array appears in the Devices column under RAID Devices .
