VTrak M-Class Quick Start Guide
To create a new disk array:
1. Enter a name for the disk array in the field provided.
2. Check the box to enable the following features.
• Media Patrol – A routine maintenance procedure that checks the
magnetic media on each disk drive. Media Patrol is concerned with the
condition of the media itself, not the data recorded on the media.
• PDM – Predictive Data Migration (PDM) scans the bad sector
remapping table of the disk drives assigned to a logical drive. When the
table fills to a specified percentage of its capacity, PDM triggers a
migration of data from the suspect drive (the disk drive with the bad
sectors) to a spare disk drive.
3. Highlight physical drives you want in the disk array from the Available list and
press the >> button to move them to the Selected list.
You can also double-click them to move them.
4. When you are done, click the Next button.
