4.1.2.5 Formatting and Mounting Arrays

After creating a RAID array on the ExaSAN RAID system, the array appears as an unformatted disk to
the host system. Use the host's disk management utility to format and mount the array for use.

Note
The following steps are for MAC users only. For PC users, consult with your
operating systems knowledge base on using the disk management utility to
format and mount arrays.
