3 Some HP FastRAID configurations require two hard drives. If you
need to install an additional drive, we strongly recommend that you
select an drive that matches the original drive in both capacity and
performance (consult an authorized HP dealer for the appropriate
HP accessory drive). HP does not provide support for this accessory
when used with drives other than HP accessory drives.
4 Make sure that when you install a new drive, you assign the drive a
unique SCSI ID. This can be checked through the SCSISelect Utility
by selecting
SCSI Disk Utilities
Creating a New Array
You can create a new array using either of the following options.
Express Setup - use this if you want to create an array (up to two
drives) quickly and easily. ArrayConfig asks you a few simple
questions and uses your answers to create the kind of array that best
meets your needs. This process is similar to the "Wizards" used in
many applications. You do not need to know the technical details of
how arrays are configured. Refer to "Using Express Setup" on page 6.
Custom Setup - this option allows advanced users to create arrays
(with more than two drives) with customized configurations. You
will need to know more technical details about how arrays are
configured to benefit from this option. Refer to "Using Custom
Setup" on page 11.
