RAID 5 (needs 3 drives min.)
Auto Setup Configuration
This section of the Auto Setup Menu contains four fields:
Mode
Items in this field correspond to the selections found in the "Optimize
Array For" field in the Auto Setup Menu sec tion (see table on page 19).
Spare Drive
Auto setup does not allow configuring a hot spare drive. If you wish to have
a spare drive, you must use the View/Define Array Menu (see page 22)
and manually assign the exact number of drives you want included. Any
attached drive not configured in a fault tolerant array will be recognized as
a spare drive and will be automatically added to the array when a failed
drive is detected. An automatic data rebuild w ill be performed to restore
fault tolerance as quickly as possible. At a later time, the failed drive can
be physically removed and an extra drive added in its place to function as
the new spare drive.
Drive(s) Used In Array
This field displays the number of drives used in the array. This does not
include the spare drive(s).
Array Disk Capacity
This field displays the capacity available in the entire array in MB
(megabytes), not counting spare drives.
When you have completed your selections, press the [Ctrl-Y] keys. SuperBuild will
create an array automatically from the hard drives connected to the SuperTrak66
controller. SuperBuild will then ask to reboot the system.
