Creating arrays and hot-spare drives in the wizard

To create arrays, do the following:

  1. Click the appropriate Array tab in the right pane:

    Then, from the list of ready drives, select the drives you want to move to the array:
  2. Click D3MGA005>> (Add selected drives) to add the drives to the array. You can click D3MGA005>> (Add all drives) to move all ready drives to an array.

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional array or hot-spare drive that you want to configure.

    Note: To create a spanned array, the arrays to be spanned must be identical (that is, they must have the same number of physical drives).

  4. If you do not want to create spanned arrays, continue to step 5. Otherwise, select the Span arrays check box .
    Then, click Next. The "Create spanned arrays" window opens.

  5. After you select the ready drives for your arrays and hot-spare drive, click Next. The "Create logical drives" window opens.

To return to the "Express and Custom configuration" window, click Back.
To leave the Configuration wizard, click Cancel.
