Creating an Array
Users have two options when creating an array for the first
time. When the controller’s initialization banner appears, a choice
between the MegaRAID Configuration Utility (CTRL-M)
and WebBIOS (CTRL-H) is presented. The difference
between the two really boils down to ease of use. The MegaRAID
Configuration Utility is a typical menu-driven utility, while WebBIOS
is a mouse-driven GUI tool. WebBIOS is a bit slower, and since it does
require a mouse, it might not be a good choice for some systems,
despite its ease of use. On the other hand, the legacy configuration
utility is a bit cryptic. Some of its navigation and menus are
confusing, and it’s sometimes not clear what changes you are making to
arrays and disks.
