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.

Note
Details on the RAID levels are in Chapter 5 RAID Overview.
