Advanced
The Disk Array Advanced Creation option enables you to directly specify all
parameters for a new disk array. If you select less than the total available
capacity for the first logical drive, you can use the remaining space to create
additional logical drives.
An explanation of the choices you will make while using the Advanced option to
create your disk array is included in Chapter 7 of the VTrak Product Manual on
the CD.
If you are uncertain about choosing parameters for your disk array, use the
Express or Automatic option to create your disk array.
