Xserve RAID
Managing Volumes
Administrators can use host-based volume management tools to mount storage
volumes on host systems. In Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server, they can use Disk Utility
to initialize arrays in Mac OS X, turn on le system journaling, and set up software
RAID arrays.
Disk Utility makes it easy to use software RAID to create hybrid RAID levels 10, 30, and 50.
