Appendix B
B-5 AMD RAID
Create Arrays
Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized.
Important
For redundant arrays, the Create process is not finished until after the operating
system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted
to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for
either a bootable array or a data array.
If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the
Arrays section must be the bootable array. The system boots only from the first
array in the Arrays section. As necessary, use the Swap Two Arrays feature to
swap arrays and place the bootable array in the first position.
To create an array:
At the “Main Menu”, use the arrow keys to highlight “Create Array” and press
<Enter>.
