This help page provides information to guide you through the procedure to create a RAID group. It contains the following topics:

Overview      (back to top)

RAID groups can contain single or multiple parity groups. A RAID group can be considered as the actual RAID container for data protection, and the parity group as a partition of that container. This way, multiple LUNs can be created from each RAID group, and ported out to the same or different servers. This allows granularity in LUN sizes being obtained from the RAID group.
