## Optimizing RAID performance
13061
For maximum performance, you can activate the cache of your SATA disks. After creating a virtual disk, the cache of SATA disks is disabled by default. Restore maximum performance by re-enabling the cache using rescue mode.

### Creating a RAID volume
79+
To create a virtual drive in controller 0, including disks 0 and 1:
80+
```bash
81+
# to create a RAID0
82+
sas2ircu 0 create raid0 max 1:0 1:1
83+
# to create a RAID1
84+
sas2ircu 0 create raid1 max 1:0 1:1
85+
# to create a volume with a volume name (optional)
86+
sas2ircu 0 create $raidtype max 1:0 1:1 my-RAID0
87+
```
88+
89+
### Creating a hot spare drive
90+
To create a hot spare drive:
91+
```bash
92+
# example with drive 1:1
93+
sas2ircu 0 HOTSPARE 1:1
94+
```
95+
96+
### Deleting configuration

## Checking the status of the RAID controller
24+
25+
To check the status of the RAID controller, run the following command:
26+
```bash
27+
megaclisas-status
28+
```
29+
This will display information about the controller, including the model, firmware version, and status of the arrays and disks.
30+
31+
## Checking the status of the disks
32+
33+
To check the health status of the disks in your RAID, run the following command:
34+
```bash
35+
DEVICE=/dev/sda
36+
for i in $(megacli -pdlist -a0 | grep Id | cut -d":" -f2); do
37+
echo "============================== $i =============================="
38+
smartctl -s on -a -d megaraid,${i} ${DEVICE} -T permissive
39+
done
40+
```
41+
This will display information about each disk, including its model, size, and status.
42+
43+
## Creating a RAID
44+
45+
To create a RAID, you will need to use the `megacli` command. The basic syntax is as follows:
46+
```bash
47+
megacli -CfgLdAdd -rX [32:X] -a0
48+
```
49+
Where:
50+
51+
* `-rX` specifies the RAID level (e.g. `-r0` for RAID 0, `-r1` for RAID 1, etc.)
52+
* `[32:X]` specifies the slot numbers of the disks to include in the RAID
53+
* `-a0` specifies the adapter number (usually 0)
54+
55+
For example, to create a RAID 1 on two disks, you would use the following command:
56+
```bash
57+
megacli -CfgLdAdd -r1 [32:0,32:1] -a0
58+
```
59+
60+
## Deleting a RAID
61+
62+
To delete a RAID, you will need to use the following commands:
63+
```bash
64+
megacli -PdList -a0
65+
megacli -LdPdInfo -a0
66+
megacli -AdpSetProp -EnableJBOD -0 -a0
67+
megacli -CfgLdDel -Lall -Force -a0
68+
megacli -CfgForeign -Clear -a0
69+
```
70+
This will delete the RAID and return the disks to an unconfigured state.
71+
72+
## Troubleshooting
73+
74+
If you encounter any issues with your RAID, you can use the `megaclisas-status` command to check the status of the controller and disks. You can also use the `smartctl` command to check the health status of the disks.
