Create Drive Array Screen
In the Create Drive Array screen, all available drives attached to the selected
controller are listed in the left window and drives assigned to the current array
appear in the right window. A port number and SCSI ID identify each drive.
To create an array, select the logical drives from the drive frame to use in the
array and move them into the array frame by selecting the Assign Drive to
Array button in the center of the screen. You can also select a drive and drag it
to the array window. To assign a spare, select the drive to be the spare and
then select the Assign Spare to Array button at the bottom of the screen.
Always group physical drives of the same size together. If you mix drive sizes,
the Integrated Smart Array Controller treats all the drives as the same size as
the smallest drive in the array, which results in wasted capacity in the larger
drives.
