Technical rules for RAID configuration

The following notes describe information that you must consider when you configure RAID.
  • For software RAID, JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported.

  • Onboard NVMe configuration supports JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 when Intel NVMe SSDs are used.

  • Both VROC Intel-SSD-Only and VROC Premium support JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10, with the former using Intel NVMe drives while the latter using non-Intel NVMe drives.
    • Bootable volumes must be in the same volume management device (VMD) domain.

    • Data volumes can be deployed across VMD domains.

    • RAID volumes across CPUs are not supported.

    • VROC must be configured by referring to the following VMD domain matrix.
