## Create a Hardware RAID Volume

1. Prepare to create a RAID volume.

   See Prepare to Use the `FCode` Utility.

2. Use the `show-children` command to list the physical drives on the selected controller.

       {0} ok show-children

       FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.00.17.00

       {0} ok

3. Use the `create-raid0-volume`, `create-raid1-volume`, or `create-raid1e-volume` command to create a logical drive from the physical disks.

   For example, to create a RAID 0 volume with targets 9 and a, type the targets first then type the `create` command:

       {0} ok 9 a create-raid0-volume

   For example, to create a RAID 1e volume with targets a, b, and c, type:

       {0} ok a b c create-raid1e-volume

4. To verify creation of the volume, type:

       {0} ok show-volumes

5. Type `unselect-dev` to deselect the controller.

       {0} ok unselect-dev
