<p>You would configure the array in mdadm.conf (either in /etc/mdadm.conf or /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf) and the use mdadm to start up the array, for example:</p>
<p>ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid6 metadata=1.1 num-devices=5 UUID=3b4045f1:253f01cd:de8<br>
023f1:8438c90d name=fennel:ATS_SRVR_R6_0</p>
<p>And:</p>
<p>mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 --uuid=3b4045f1:253f01cd:de8023f1:8438c90d</p>
