Adaptec Storage Manager Pro for DuraStor User's Guide
If you are building a stripe set of RAID 5 sets (RAID 0/5), you
will see an additional tab, RAID 0/5. Depending on the number
of disk drives you have selected, the tab allows you to select the
number of RAID 5 sets you want to use to create the RAID 0/5
set. For example, if you select 15 disk drives, you can create a
RAID 0/5 striped across either three RAID 5 sets (each
containing five disk drives) or five RAID 5 sets (each containing
three disk drives). From the RAID 0/5 Configuration
drop-down list box, select the Number of RAID 5 sets you want
to stripe across.
9 Check each tab of the dialog box to be sure the array settings are
the way you want them.
Depending on the array type, you'll have one to two tabs of
information to verify.
If you want to change the settings for the array before creating it,
click Back. Storage Manager Pro returns to the Create Array
dialog box.
10 Click OK to create the array as listed.
A dialog box appears telling you that you may need to reboot
for your operating system to see the array.
11 Click OK.
Storage Manager Pro creates the array using your selections, and
adds it to the System Browser window. The array creation task
may take several hours to complete, depending on the array
type, size of the array, and the I/O load. See Viewing Task
Progress on page 6-4.
Before you can write data to the array, you need to first make the
array available for use. See Making the Array Available for Use on
page 2-12.
Caution: If you click Cancel, the array will not be created. To
!
leave this dialog box and continue to create an array, click
Back.
