Notice that a &lt;tt&gt;Raid Set&lt;/tt&gt; here means just a collection of disks. For a RAID 6 array, we advice to choose an even number of disks with a preference of 12. (e.g.: for a system with 24 disks : 2 OS disks in RAID 1 + 10 disks in RAID 6 + 12 disks in RAID6)<br /> *In &lt;tt&gt;Volume Set Function&lt;/tt&gt; there you actually create the RAID array. <br /> **For a OS (RAID 1 mirroring):<br /> ***Use the default setup<br /> ***Choose Foreground build (the fastest)<br /> **For a Storage RAID array:<br /> ***Set &lt;tt&gt;64 Bit LBA&lt;/tt&gt;<br /> ***Set 128K Stripe<br /> ***Choose Foreground build<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{TracNotice|{{PAGENAME}}}}</div>
