RAID refers to a redundant array of independent disks; it helps you to combine multiple storage disks into a single logical unit. Data is distributed to across disks, depends upon Raid level used.
Normally Linux system doesn’t automatically remember all the components that are part of the RAID set. This information has to be added it on mdadm.conf file under /etc directory. It helps to start, rebuild,re-activate the raid etc.., by default, the file will not be available, it has to be created manually.
Use the following command to scan the availbe RAID levels on the system.
[[email protected] ~]# mdadm –detail –scan
ARRAY /dev/md level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=59bbce04:74f9376a:e78e164b:9897f07b
Check the Raid details.
