Insight Control server provisioning provides Build Plans and configuration files to use as a starting point when deploying HP Smart Array with a customized RAID configuration. Use these to derive a Build Plan and configuration file for the RAID configuration desired in your environment.
The HP-provided content (Build Plans and configuration files) cannot be edited and should be used as a reference. You must copy or use the content as a pattern, then edit the content to customize the RAID configuration for your environment.
These instructions are intended to help you customize and use the following HP-provided Build Plans and configuration files for your environment.
HP-provided Build Plans
-
ProLiant HW - Smart Array Capture Settings
-
ProLiant HW - Smart Array Erase
-
ProLiant HW - Smart Array Set RAID 1
HP-provided configuration files
-
Smart Array Configuration – Set RAID 1
-
Smart Array Configuration – Set RAID 5
-
