6-18 Running the Array Configuration Utility

Create Array Screen

In this screen, all available drives attached to the selected controller are listed on
the left. Drives assigned to the current array appear on the right. Each drive is
identified by a port number and SCSI ID. The drives will always be displayed
under Port 1.
To create an array, select the drives to be part of the array, then click the Assign
Drive to Array button. You can also select a drive and drag it to the array. To
assign a spare, select the drive to be the spare and then click the Assign Spare to
Array button.
Always group physical drives of the same size. If you mix drive sizes, the Smart
Array 221 Controller treats all the drives as the same size as the smallest drive
in the array. This results in wasted capacity in the larger drives.
