Create a Disk Array
Click on the Disk Arrays icon. The Array Configuration menu appears. Since
this VTrak is newly activated, there are no disk arrays or logical drives yet.
There are three options: Automatic, Express, and Advanced. Select one and click
the Next button. Or select one from the dropdown menu on the Create tab.
Automatic
The Disk Array Automatic Creation option enables you to create a new disk array
following a default set of parameters. One logical drive will be made automatically
when you create the disk array.
The number of unconfigured physical drives available will determine the RAID
level of the disk array and whether a spare drive is created.
When you choose the Automatic option, the following parameters display:
• Disk Arrays – The number of physical drives in the disk array, their ID
numbers, configurable capacity, and the number of logical drives to be
created
