3600 RAID Configuration

8/3/2019 3600 RAID Configuration

1/16

RAID configuration for the 3600 involves using the LSI WebOS, a GUI which is almostcompletely mousebased, which is a radical departure from the 3500 and 3510keyboard only interface. Instructions for the two RAID configurations are somewhatdifferent, so we will cover a complete configuration of a FR (RAID 1 + 0) and then acomplete configuration for all other setups (RAID 10).

Configuring a 3600 for a FR RAID (RAID 1 + 0)

Before booting the system, ensure the mouse and keyboard are both plugged in, as youwill need them both for configuration. The initial startup / BIOS boot screen could takeup to 30 seconds to display.

When this screen disappears, press CTRL + H to access the WebOS Configurationscreen.
