This document is about the RAID Utility User’s Guide for MacPro RAID Card or Xserve RAID Card.
The document serves as a user's guide for the RAID Utility application found on Mac Pro and Xserve computers equipped with a Mac Pro RAID Card or Xserve RAID Card. It details how to configure internal disks into storage volumes using RAID schemes to improve performance and protect data.
The manual covers two primary methods for setting up RAID volumes: migrating an existing startup volume without reinstalling the operating system, or manually creating new RAID sets and volumes by starting from the installation disc. It provides step-by-step instructions for these processes as well as information on specific RAID levels like Enhanced JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 0+1.
The utility is used on a computer with a Mac Pro RAID Card or Xserve RAID Card installed.
No, when you migrate your existing startup volume, you do not need to reinstall the operating system.
