DescriptionOption
Assigns the default local disk storage policy to this service profile.
Continue with Step 4.
Select Local Storage Policy to
use
Enables you to create a local disk policy that can only be accessed by this
service profile.
Continue with Step 2.
Create a Specific Storage Policy
Select an existing local disk policy from the list at the bottom of the
drop-down list. Cisco UCS Manager assigns this policy to the service
profile.
If you do not want use any of the existing policies, but instead want to
create a policy that all service profiles can access, continue with Step 3.
Otherwise, continue with Step 4.

Step 2
(Optional) If you chose Create a Specific Storage Policy and want to create a new policy that can only be
used by this service profile, do the following:
a) From the Mode drop-down list, choose one of the following:
• No Local Storage—For a diskless server or a SAN only configuration. If you select this option, you
cannot associate any service profile which uses this policy with a server that has a local disk.
• RAID 0 Striped—Data is striped across all disks in the array, providing fast throughput. There is
no data redundancy, and all data is lost if any disk fails.
• RAID 1 Mirrored—Data is written to two disks, providing complete data redundancy if one disk
fails. The maximum array size is equal to the available space on the smaller of the two drives.
• Any Configuration—For a server configuration that carries forward the local disk configuration
without any changes.
• No RAID—For a server configuration that removes the RAID and leaves the disk MBR and payload
unaltered.
• RAID 5 Striped Parity—Data is striped across all disks in the array. Part of the capacity of each
disk stores parity information that can be used to reconstruct data if a disk fails. RAID 5 provides
good data throughput for applications with high read request rates.
• RAID 6 Striped Dual Parity—Data is striped across all disks in the array and two parity disks are
used to provide protection against the failure of up to two physical disks. In each row of data blocks,
two sets of parity data are stored.
• RAID10 Mirrored and Striped— RAID 10 uses mirrored pairs of disks to provide complete data
redundancy and high throughput rates.
