   Note

   • “XXX” refers to a RAID ID or a placeholder. A RAID ID is composed of “ctrl” and a slot number. For example, the ID of the RAID in slot one is “ctrl1”, the one of slot two is “ctrl2” and so on. A placeholder can be RAIDID_X or RAID_AllRemaining. “X” refers to the number of the RAID adapter on your machine. For example, RAIDID_1 refers to the first RAID adapter and RAIDID_2 refers to the second one. You can use RAID_AllRemaining to represent all other RAIDs of the same settings.

   • “YYY” refers to the volume ID. You can name it as vol0, vol1, vol2 and so on.

   • Follow the descriptions on this page to enter specific information for other parameters.

5. Edit RAID account.
   The following window opens.

   When editing the RAID account, you can enter a supervisor user account existing on all BMCs that need the RAID configuration. If you choose to create a new BMC user account , a default user name “LXCIRaidUser” will be generated. We suggest that you change the user name and password of the new account.

Note

• Make sure that the RAID level is supported by the RAID controller on the target server.

• Multiple array configurations are supported in one policy file.
