Overview
The Marvell RAID Utility (MRU) is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI)
tool for the Marvell RAID adapter. It supports IO Controllers (IOC) and
RAID-On-Chip (ROC) Controllers. RAID technology allows you to create arrays and
virtual disks using one or more physical disk drives in combination in order to
achieve increased disk fault tolerance and improved performance.
The Marvell RAID adapter supports the following RAID levels:
• RAI D 0 (striping). Mult iple drives can read and write data in parallel to increase
performance.
• RAI D 1 (disk mirroring). Two disks mirrored to each other.

Launching the MRU in the Browser
After installing your MRU software, you can access and control both local and remote adapters
using the browser GUI. For remote access, you need to know the IP address of the system
with the remote adapter.
For the MRU to function properly in the browser, Active Scripting must be enabled in your
default browser.
To enable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer
1. Select Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level.
2. Under Scripting and check the radio button for Active Scripting.
Note: Active Scripting is disabled by default in Internet Explorer distributed with
Windows 2008.
