Grouping Physical Drives
of the Same Size into an Array
This procedure creates two new arrays: Array B and Array C. Array A
contains the operating system and will not be used or modified.
1. In the Controller Selection frame, select the Smart Array Controller,
Embedded Slot.
2. Select the Create Array button. The Create Drive Array screen is
displayed.
Figure 6-19. Create Drive Array screen
3. Select the four 9.1-GB drives you want to use in array B from the drives
listed in the Existing Drives frame.
NOTE: Always group physical drives of the same size. The Integrated Smart Array
Controller treats all the drives as the same size as the smallest drive in the same array. If
you mix drive sizes, the capacity of the largest drive is wasted.
For this example select the following drives:
Port 2:SCSI ID 0
Port 2:SCSI ID 1
Port 2:SCSI ID 2
