RAID Level: RAID 0 – Striping
RAID 1 – Disk Mirroring
RAID 10 – Stripe of mirrors
Stripe Size: 32K, 64K
It defines the size of the single data block on the virtual disk. The larger the stripe size, the
longer it takes to read and write data blocks on the physical disks. A large size is
recommended for applications requiring large data transfers, e.g. audio, video and graphics. A
smaller size is suitable for applications with smaller size files, e.g. emails and documents.
Name: any value for the users to input
Input a user defined identifier for the virtual disk.
7.
Choose the HyperDuo option:
HyperDuo Mode: Safe – Mirrored Protection
Capacity – Cost-Optimized
Keep original data: Yes, No (Only available in Safe mode)
Threshold(%): 10-100 for the users to input
The number defines the percentage of your SSD the MBU uses to optimize performance.
Default is 90.
8.
Choose Next and press [Y] key to start creating the virtual disk.
9.
Press F10 and [Y] key to exit the MBU.
Note: A HyperDuo virtual disk must at least contain one SSD and one HDD.
To rebuild a virtual disk:
1.
When a hard disk in a RAID 1 virtual disk or a SSD in a HyperDuo Safe mode virtual disk is defective or the
data inside are corrupted, the Marvell BIOS Utility (MBU) will mark the virtual disk as Degrade.
2.
Replace the defective hard disk/SSD with an identical hard disk/SSD or a hard disk/SSD which has a smaller
size within the allowable value set for the virtual disk.
3.
Press the [Ctrl] + [M] key on the keyboard at the same time to enter the MBU.
4.
In the Topology pane, scroll to the Virtual Disks ID, press Enter and select the Rebuild option.
5.
Select the available replacement hard disk/SSD to be rebuilt to by pressing Space Bar and then Enter.
6.
Press [Y] key to start. The utility will show the rebuild status and the completed percentage. This will take a
long time to finish the whole process and it depends on the size to be rebuilt.
Note: HyperDuo virtual disk created in Safe mode can be partially rebuilt if the SSD fails, but not if the HDD fails.
Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) for RAID/HyperDuo Setup
The Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) is a browser-based management utility for Marvell 88SE92xx controllers. It
creates and manages a RAID or HyperDuo virtual disk using storage devices connected to the 88SE92xx
controller.
1.
Start Windows and insert the driver CD into the CD-ROM drive, assume drive D.
2.
Browse to the following folder on the driver CD:
D:\Marvell\88SE9230\Utility\
3.
Run
MSUSetup.exe
4.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the MSU.
5.
Double click the desktop shortcut for the MSU. When opening the MSU in some versions of Windows, Internet
Explorer may detect a problem with the security certificate for the MSU web page. Select Continue to this
website (not recommended) to continue opening the MSU.
6.
Opening the MSU will take you to a login page. If you have no password, leave this field blank, and then click
Login.
7.
After entering the MSU user interface, select Adapter, which contains four physical disks, assume four
physical disks are connected to the controller card.
8.
Roll over the Operation tab and you will see Create HyperDuo, Create RAID and Quick Create Wizard.
9.
To create a HyperDuo virtual disk, you should have at least one HDD and one/multiple SSD.
10. Select Create HyperDuo, and then select Safe mode or Capacity mode.
11. Check Keep Original Data to preserve the data currently on your HDD or uncheck it to erase all data. This
option is only available in Safe mode.
12. Enter a number between 10 and 100 in the Threshold (%) field. The Threshold (%) number defines the
percentage of your SSD the MSU uses to optimize performance. The default is 90.
13. Press Submit. The MSU displays the Property tab for the HyperDuo virtual disk and begins initialization. It
takes up to some minutes to complete. System performance may slow during this period.
14. If you want to quickly create a HyperDuo virtual disk, select Quick Create Wizard.
Preserve the data currently on your HDD or erase all data.
to start utility installation.
