Step 2: Group physical drives of the
same size into an array.
1. Click the Create Array... button. The Create Drive Array screen is
displayed.
Figure 5-4. Create Drive Array screen
NOTE: Always group physical drives of the same size. If you mix drive sizes,
the capacity of the larger drives is wasted.
2. Select the three drives you want to make up the array from the drives on
the left. For this example, select the following drives:
Port 1:SCSI ID 0
Port 1:SCSI ID 1
Port 1:SCSI ID 2
Click the Assign Drive(s) to Array button.
NOTE: Given the reliability of a particular generation of hard drive technology,
the probability of an array experiencing a drive failure increases with the
number of drives in an array. Compaq recommends the number of drives in an
array be limited to 14.
