Configuring the Mylex RAID Array Group

Prior to installing the operating system, you must use the Mylex Disk Array
Configuration Utility to configure the Array Group.

With four drives connected to the Mylex, one possible configuration is to
combine three of the drives in a RAID 5 configuration, with the fourth drive
reserved as a Hot Spare drive.

After the operating system is installed, make sure the Mylex DACADM and
DACMON utilities are loaded. If a drive fails, these utilities can be used to
rebuild the RAID 5 configuration with the hot spare drive, without
interrupting operation of the operating system and user applications.

Refer to the Mylex Disk Array Controller User’s Manual for detailed
instructions.
