The meanings of the fields are:

Array to be copied

The array that you selected as the source data for the copy.

Number of disk drives required

The number of disk drives that must be coupled to the array to permit a copy
to be performed.

Minimum disk drive size required

The effective size of each member disk drive of the array. Each disk drive that
is coupled to the array must be at least this size. If larger disk drives are
selected, the excess space remains unused.

Verify copy during creation

If you select yes, all data that is written to the copy is verified before the write
operation completes. This action reduces the possibility that unrecoverable
media errors are found when the copy is uncoupled and read, but increases
the time required to perform the copy operation.
