Create a RAID10 using the command line interface (CLI)

Enter the following command using the CLI to create a RAID10 array:

create RAID10 disks=1/E1/1,1/E2/1,1/E1/2,1/E2/2,1/E1/3,1/E2/3,1/E1/4,1/E2/4 capacity=* init=quickinit bs=512k

* refers to the desired capacity (please check the CLI RAID Management Guide for more information).

Note: RAID 10 arrays are comprised of two RAID 1 arrays that have been striped together (RAID 0). The drives that constitute a RAID 10 array are always arranged in pairs (groups of two), hence the complex command line.

Checking the RAID10 configuration using the WebGUI management software

Access the Logical tab, and then click on Maintenance for the RAID10 array. This will allow you to view information about each drives (note how they are organized in pairs).
