3. Press the arrow keys to highlight specific physical drives.
4. Press F4 to configure the highlighted drive as a hot spare.
5. Press the Spacebar to add the highlighted physical drive to the current
array. The status of the selected drive changes from Ready to Onlin A
[array number]-[drive number]. For example, Onlin A2-3 means array 2,
disk drive 3.
Add physical drives to the current array as needed. Try to use drives of the
same capacity in the same array. If you use drives with different capacities
in an array, all the drives in the array are treated as though they have the
capacity of the smallest drive. The number of physical drives in an array
determines the RAID levels that can be implemented with the array.
6. Press Enter when you are finished creating the current array. To continue
defining arrays, repeat Steps 3 through 5. To configure your logical drives,
go to Step 7.
7. Press F10 to configure logical drives. The logical drive configuration
window appears. The window shows the logical drive that is currently
being configured as well as any existing logical drives.
8. To set the RAID level for the logical drive, highlight RAID and press
Enter. The available RAID levels for the current logical drives are listed.
Select a RAID level and press Enter to confirm.
9. If you want to create a spanned array, highlight Span and press Enter. The
choices are:
•
CanSpan: Array spanning is enabled for the current logical drive. The
drive can occupy space in up to four arrays.
•
NoSpan: Array spanning is disabled for the current logical drive. The
drive can occupy space in only one array.
The default setting is NoSpan.
