Marvell BIOS Utility for
RAID/ HyperDuo setup
Warning: All the data on the hard disks connected to the controller
card will be permanently erase in the following actions.
To create a RAID/ HyperDuo virtual disk
1. Power up your computer, skip this section if you are not going to
create a RAID/HyperDuo virtual disk.
2. Press the [ctrl]+[M] key on the keyboard at the same time to
enter the Marvell BIOS utility
3. Once the BIOS is entered, scroll to HBA: Marvell 0 in the topology
pane by the up and arrow key on the keyboard and press Enter
4. Choose Configuration Wizard and press Enter to start creating
the RAID/ HyperDuo virtual disk
5. Select the free physical disk available by using the arrow keys to
scroll though the disks and press Space Bar. After selecting all the
disks needed, press Enter to continue.
6. Choose the RAID Option:
RAID LEVEL: RAID 0- striping
RAID 1-Disk Mirroring
Stripe size: 32k, 64k
Name: any value for the user to input
7. Choose the HyperDuo option:
HyperDuo mode: Safe-mirrored protection
Capacity-cost-Optimized
Keep original data: Yes, No (only available in safe mode)
Preserve the data currently on your
HDD or erase all data
Threshold (%): 10-100 for the users to input
The number defines to percentage
of your SSD the Bios uses to optimize
performance. Default is 90
8. Choose NEXT and press [Y] key to start creating the
virtual disk
9. Press F10 and [Y] key to exit the Marvell bios utility
Note: A HyperDuo virtual disk must at least contain
one SSD and one HDD
To rebuild a virtual disk
1. When a hard disk in a RAID 1 virtual disk or a SSD in a hyperDuo
safe mode virtual disk is defective or the data inside are
corrupted, the Marvell Bios Utility will mark the virtual disk as
degrade.
2. Replace the defective hard disk /SSD with an identical hard
disk/SSD or a hard disk /SSD which has a smaller size within the
allowable value set for the virtual disk.
3. Press the [ctrl] + [M] key on the keyboard at the same time to
enter the BIOS.
4. In the Topology pane. Scroll to the virtual disk, Press Enter and
select the Rebuild option.
5. Select the available replacement hard disk /SSD to be rebuilt to
by pressing Space Bar and then Enter
6. Press [Y] key to start. The utility will show the rebuild status and
the completed percentage. This will take a long time to finish the
whole process and it depends on the size to be rebuilt
Note: HyperDuo virtual disk created in safe mode can
be partially rebuilt if the SSD fails, but not if the
HDD fails.
