Q:
Dell Poweredge T100 RAID 1 setup
Dell PowerEdge, Dell PowerEdge T100, SBS 2003, RAID, RAID 1, RAID configuration
I have a new Poweredge T100  It is running SBS 2003 R2. It is supposed to be set up
for RAID 1. In MyComputer, I can only see the OS Dive (C:) and DATAPART
(D:). I see no indication of RAID or mirrored drives.


How can I tell if the RAID 1 is set up correctly. At this point I see no indication of RAID at all?



Software/Hardware used:
Dell Poweredge, SBS 2003 R2

The OS should only see exactly what you are seeing and display as such. Depending on how Dell setup your RAID, hardware (you hope) or software (bad for so many reasons in a business) you would need to use the appropriate RAID management software or on boot use the cli utility.

hello mate it depends how you setup your dell server at the first time
RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, that is , if u have a raid card , you can still boot from your DELL CD
and see what is the configuration of your initial config . it wont damaged anything by doing so .
disk management in 2003 will show software config only , dnt forget to check the blinking lights on both harddisk …
