WITH RAID supports the creation of RAID 0 and RAID 1 virtual
disks comprising of exactly two SATA physical disks. PATA
physical disks cannot be used to create RAID virtual disks.

Managing Virtual Disks
This section contains the following topics:
zViewing Properties of Virtual Disk
zErasing RAID Configuration Data
zRebuilding Virtual Disk
zDeleting Virtual Disk
Viewing Properties of Virtual Disk
To view the properties of a virtual disk, scroll to the Virtual Disk (VD
0: Default in Figure 13) in the Topology pane. The properties of the
virtual disk are displayed in the Information pane when VD 0:
Default is highlighted, as shown in Figure 13.

Erasing RAID Configuration Data
Note: The RAID controller stores RAID configuration data on all
physical disks that are part of a virtual disk. RAID configuration data
must be erased on the physical disk before it can be used with another
virtual disk.
1. In the Topology pane, select Physical Disk (VD 0: Default > PD
0: ST3750330MS in Figure 14) and press Enter.
A menu pops-up, as shown Figure 14.
2. Select Delete to delete the virtual disk, as shown in Figure 14.

Rebuilding Virtual Disk
Note: The 2+1 SATA 6G & PATA PCI-E COMBO HOST CARD
WITH RAID BIOS supports manual rebuilding of RAID 1 virtual
disks. The rebuild process is both initiated and complete in the BIOS.
The Marvell RAID Utility (MRU), which runs in an OS environment,
cannot be used to either initiate, resume, or complete the rebuild
process. Spare physical disks are not supported.

1. When a virtual disk is degraded, the Status of a virtual disk is

changed from Functional to Degrade, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15 Virtual Disk Properties: Degrade VD
2. Replace the faulty physical disk with an identical physical disk.
Note: If an identical disk is unavailable, use a replacement
physical disk or larger size or one with a slightly smaller size as
determined the Gigabyte Rounding setting for the virtual disk.
The 2+1 SATA 6G & PATA PCI-E COMBO HOST CARD WITH
RAID detects the new physical disk and lists the device under
Free Physical Disks in the Topology pane, as shown in Figure 16.
