DELL Tutorial: Create RAID Using PERC 6/i Integrated BIOS Configuration Utility

by Ramesh Natarajan on May 4, 2009

Disk space is never enough. On an on-going basis system administrators will be getting request to increase the disk space on a server.

In this article, let us review how to add new physical disks and create a virtual disk with a RAID configuration on an DELL PowerEdge Server using PERC 6/i Integrated BIOS Configuration Utility.

The new DELL Servers has the ability to create RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 using the hardware controller.


Assume the scenario where the server came with 2 physical hard drives configured in RAID-1. This Logical Volume is where the operating system is installed and you got a request to expand disk space on this server. So, you have purchased additional disks and would like to configure a RAID setup. In this example, 4 additional disks are configured as RAID-5 on a DELL PowerEdge 2950 server. The same steps works on other DELL PowerEdge servers as long as you have the same PERC BIOS Configuration Utility.

If you are using an old server that uses PERC/CERC BIOS Configuration Utility, please refer to the article we wrote earlier about how to create RAID on DELL Servers using PERC/CERC BIOS Configuration Utility (with screenshots).

1. Launch PERC 6/i Integrated BIOS Configuration Utility

First, insert all new disks in the empty slots. If there are already disks on slot 0 and slot 1, start inserting the new disks from slot 2. In this example, the new 4 disks are inserted from slot-2 to slot-5.

After the disks are inserted, reboot the server. When the server is starting up, press Ctrl-R to launch the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller BIOS. Press Ctrl-R when it is displaying the following message on the console.

Fig: Press Ctrl-R to Launch DELL PowerEdge 2950 III Expandable RAID Controller

This will launch the PERC 6/i Integrated BIOS Configuration Utility. This utility will have the following three TABs on the top.

• VD Mgmt – Virtual Disk Management, which will be selected by default.
• PD Mgmt – Physical Disk Management
• Ctrl Mgmt – Controller Management

2. Create New Virtual Disk

From the Virtual Disk Management, use arrow key and select ‘Controller 0′. Press F2 to show available operations for the ‘Controller 0′.  This will display a pop-up menu with following choices.  Select ‘Create New VD’.

• Create New VD
• Clear Config
• Foreign Config
• Manage Preserved Cache

Fig: Create New Virtual Disk on DELL PowerEdge 1950 III Server

This will display the Virtual Disk Management screen with ‘Create New VD’ Panel. Following are the various sections displayed in this screen:

• RAID Level
• PD Per Scan
• Physical Disks Section
• Basic Settings
  • VD Size
  • VD Name
• Advanced Settings
  • Stripe Element Size
  • Read Policy
  • Write Policy
  • Force WB with no battery
  • Initialize
  • Configure HotSpare

3. Choose RAID Level for the Virtual Disk

Press Enter on the RAID option, which will display the following RAID choices. In this example, I choose RAID-5 as shown in the Fig below.

• RAID-0
• RAID-1
• RAID-5
• RAID-6
• RAID-10

6. Set Virtual Disk Group Advanced Settings

I recommend leaving all the advanced settings to the default values.

• Stripe Element Size – Default value is 64KB
• Read Policy – Default value is No Read Ahead
• Write Policy – Default Value is “Write Back”
• By default, following values are not checked. i.e check-box not selected
  • Force WB with no battery
  • Initialize
  • Configure HotSpare

  • 04: Online: 139392MB
  • 05: Online: 139392MB
• Space Allocation
  • Virtual Disk 1

Use arrow key and highlight the Virtual Disk 1, which will display the following properties of both Virtual Disk and Disk Group on the right side.

Virtual Disk 1 Properties:

• RAID Level: 5
• RAID Status: Optimal (This will display degraded if any one of the disk in RAID5 failed)
• Size: 408G
• Operation: None. (During initialization process, this will display the status accordingly)

Disk Group 1 Properties:

• VD Count: 1 (This is number of virtual disks in the disk group 1)
• PD Count: 4 (This is the total number of physical disks that are part of this disk group)
• Space Available: 0.000MB (The total number of free space available to create a new Virtual Disk in this disk group)
• Free Segment: 0
