Marvell BIOS Utility (MBU) for RAID / HyperDuo Setup
Warning: All data on the HDD / SSD associated with item 90433 will be irretrievably erased.
To create a RAID/HyperDuo virtual disk:
Skip this section if you are not going to create a RAID/HyperDuo virtual disk.
1. Start your Computer.
2. Press the [Ctrl] + [M] key on the keyboard at the same time to enter the Marvell BIOS Utility (MBU).
3. Once the MBU is entered, scroll to HBA0: Marvell 0 in the Topology pane by the up and arrow key on the keyboard and press Enter.
4. Choose Configuration Wizard and press Enter to start creating the RAID/HyperDuo virtual disk.
5. Select the free physical disks available by using the arrow keys to scroll through the disks and press Space Bar.
6. After selecting all the disks needed, press Enter to continue.
7. Choose the RAID option:
RAID Level: RAID 0 – Stripping
RAID 1 – Disk Mirroring
RAID 10 – Stripe of Mirrors
Stripe Size: 32K, 64K
It defines the size of the single data block on the virtual disk. The larger the stripe size, the longer it takes to read and write data blocks
on the physical disks. A large size is recommended for applications requiring large data transfers, e.g. audio, video and graphics. A
smaller size is suitable for applications with smaller size files, e.g. emails and documents.
8. Name: any value for the users to input. Input a user defined identifier for the virtual disk.
9. Choose the HyperDuo option:
HyperDuo Mode: Safe – Mirrored Protection
Capacity – Cost-Optimized
Keep original data: Yes, No (Only available in Safe mode)
Preserve the data currently on your HDD or erase all data.
10. Threshold(%): 10-100 for the users to input
The number defines the percentage of your SSD the MBU uses to optimize performance. Default is 90.
11. Choose Next and press [Y] key to start creating the virtual disk.
12. Press F10 and [Y] key to exit the MBU.
Note: A HyperDuo virtual disk must at least contain one SSD and one HDD.
To rebuild a virtual disk:
1. When a hard disk in a RAID 1 virtual disk or a SSD in a HyperDuo Safe mode virtual disk is defective or the data inside are corrupted,
the Marvell BIOS Utility (MBU) will mark the virtual disk as Degrade.
2. Replace the defective hard disk/SSD with an identical hard disk/SSD or a hard disk/SSD which has a smaller size within the allowable
value set for the virtual disk.
3. Press the [Ctrl] + [M] key on the keyboard at the same time to enter the MBU.
4. In the Topology pane, scroll to the Virtual Disks ID, press Enter and select the Rebuild option.
5. Select the available replacement hard disk/SSD to be rebuilt to by pressing Space Bar and then Enter.
6. Press [Y] key to start. The utility will show the rebuild status and the completed percentage. This will take a long time to finish the
whole process and it depends on the size to be rebuilt.
Note: HyperDuo virtual disk created in Safe mode can be partially rebuilt if the SSD fails, but not if the HDD fails.
Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) for RAID/HyperDuo Setup
The Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) is a browser-based management utility for Marvell controllers. It creates and manages a RAID or
HyperDuo virtual disk using storage devices connected to the controller.
1. Switch on your computer.
2. Put the driver CD in the CD ROM drive.
3. Open Windows Explorer, select: CD-drive\MSU\4.1.0.2015\MSUSetup.exe.
4. Double click the desktop shortcut for the MSU.
5. When opening the MSU in some versions of Windows, Internet Explorer may detect a problem with the security certificate for the MSU
web page. Select Continue to this website (not recommended) to continue opening the MSU.
6. Opening the MSU will take you to a login page. If you have no password, leave this field blank, and then click Login.
7. After entering the MSU user interface, select Adapter, which contains four physical disks, assume four physical disks are connected to
the controller card.
8. Roll over the Operation tab and you will see Create HyperDuo, Create RAID and Quick Create Wizard.
9. To create a HyperDuo virtual disk, you should have at least one HDD and one/multiple SSD.
10. Select Create HyperDuo, and then select Safe mode or Capacity mode.
11. Check Keep Original Data to preserve the data currently on your HDD or uncheck it to erase all data. This option is only available in
Safe mode.
12. Threshold(%): 10-100 for the users to input
13. The Threshold (%) number defines the percentage of your SSD the MSU uses to optimize performance. The default is 90.
14. Press Submit.
15. The MSU displays the Property tab for the HyperDuo virtual disk and begins initialization. It takes up to some minutes to complete.
System performance may slow during this period.
