20 Chapter 2 Configuring the Xserve G5 PCI Hardware RAID Card
m
To create a RAID 0 striped volume across the first two drives, with stripe size of 64K,
write cache enabled, read ahead enabled, and a cached io policy, type:
megaraid -create r0 -drive 0 1 -stripesize 64 -writecache enable -
readahead on -iopolicy cached
Formatting the RAID Volume
After building the RAID volume, you must format the volume with a file system.
• If you are configuring the server locally using a monitor and keyboard, choose Installer >
Open Disk Utility. Select the RAID volume and click Erase. Choose Mac OS Extended
(Journaled) from the Volume Format pop-up menu, and click Erase.
• If you are configuring the server remotely, use the diskutil command to format the
volume.
Terminating the Session
• If you are configuring the server locally using a monitor and keyboard, quit Terminal. You
may now proceed with installation of Mac OS X Server on the newly created RAID
volume.
• If you are configuring the server remotely, terminate your ssh connection and open the
Remote Install Assistant to remotely connect to your Xserve and begin Mac OS X
Server remote installation.
Installing Mac OS X Server Software on the RAID Volume
m
Install the Mac OS X Server software on your newly configured RAID volume using the
Install CDs.
Important: In an Xserve G5 system with the optional PCI Hardware RAID Card installed,
you must restart the system before you can install Mac OS X Server on volumes created
with the hardware RAID card's megaraid command-line tool if your system does not
allow installing or displays a red badge. Not restarting the system will result in all
volumes displaying a red badge indicating that these volumes cannot accept Mac OS X
Server.
