The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for automatically configuring disk drives connected to a RAID controller. The automatic configuration mechanism is able to generate a full configuration of the disk drives connected to a RAID controller both at system initialization or bootup and at runtime. The mechanism uses a robust criteria to configure the disk drives which allows the drives to be configured in accordance with one or more RAID levels and which considers any existing configurations. The automatic configuration mechanism is advantageous since it eliminates user interaction, time, and knowledge often required to configure disk drives connected to a RAID controller.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé servant à effectuer la configuration automatique d'unités de disques couplées à une unité de commande de RAID. Le mécanisme de configuration automatique est capable de générer la totalité de la configuration des unités de disques couplées à l'unité de commande de RAID à la fois à l'initialisation ou au lancement du système et en cours d'exécution. Ce mécanisme met en application un critère robuste de configuration permettant aux unités de disques de recevoir une configuration correspondant à un ou plusieurs niveaux de RAID et prenant également en considération toute configuration existante. Ce mécanisme présente l'avantage d'éliminer toute interaction, temps et connaissance de l'utilisateur souvent nécessaires pour établir la configuration d'unités de disques couplées à une unité de commande de RAID.
