4.1.2.3 Creating and Deleting an Array

Administrators can choose how best to distribute the available hard disk drives. Once

an array has been created, it can be further administered in the Options section.

Creating an Array

When the RAID controller is first configured, an array needs to be set up. This array tells

the controller how many disks to use and what their function should be.

Follow the steps below to create an array:

1. Select the RAID level from the drop down menu. Available levels are: 0, 1, 5, 6, 0+1

and JBOD.

Note

Each RAID level has a minimum disk requirement. This is shown in

the information to the right of the drop down list. For example,

RAID 5 requires at least 3 drives.
