Abstract
A deployment module of a RAID deployment management system integrates vendor-specific RAID configurations into a vendor-independent infrastructure with a RAID configuration utility that translates vendor-specific formatted configuration information to vendor-independent formatted configuration information. A user interface determines a RAID configuration for a target information handling system from a unique identifier associated with the target information handling system and deploys the configuration information through a deployment engine that selects a boot file from a DHCP server for the target to boot to with a PXE client. The deployment engine loads an agent to the target that executes to configure the target and then resets the boot file associated with the target so that subsequent boot allows the configured target to deploy software.

15. A system for RAID configuration of a target information handling system having one of plural vendor-specific configurations, the system comprising:
a deployment engine operable to communicate RAID configuration information to the target information handling system, the RAID configuration information for performing a vendor specific configuration selected from the plural vendor-specific configurations, the deployment engine further operable to initiate re-boot of the target information handling system to a primary boot file after application of the RAID configuration information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for RAID configuration of a target information handling system, the method comprising:
-
selecting a RAID configuration for deployment to a target information handling system, the RAID configuration associated with a vendor-specific configuration utility;
identifying one of plural RAID configuration boot files associated with the vendor-specific configuration utility;
performing a boot from an initial state of the target information handling system with the selected RAID configuration boot file to run a deployment operating system;
deploying RAID configuration information to the target information handling system;
applying the RAID configuration information to the target information handling system;
identifying a primary boot file; and
performing a boot with the primary boot file. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
