The hard disk drives shown in the Available Drives window are identified by two
numbers indicating their Channel and ID, e.g. [0,11] (Channel 0, ID 11).
In addition to the disk groups you will also require spare drives. This means that
you cannot assign all the drives to disk groups alone. We recommend that you
use the drives ID3, ID19, ID33 and ID49 as spare drives. There is a lot of
enclosure information which can be called up from the selected drives but this
means that at the moment when the information is requested the disk drive is
not available for normal data accessing. Given that enclosure information is
being called up all the time, it makes good sense to use the spare drives for this
task. Using the spare disks for enclosure information means that you get full
performance from the normal hard disk drives and at the same time make use
of the spare-disk capacity which under normal operating conditions would not
otherwise not be used.
On the left-hand side of the display, in the Available Drives window, select the
hard disk drive you require. Click the Add button to assign this disk to the drive
group selected.
