Creating the First Array
With the ArrayConfigCA
Program
This chapter explains how to use the Adaptec ArrayConfigCA pro-
gram to create the first bootable or nonbootable array on your com-
puter. Before creating the array, make sure the disks for the array are
connected and installed in your computer (or array enclosure). You
can use ArrayConfigCA in two ways:
Select Express Setup if you want to create an array quickly and
easily. ArrayConfigCA asks you a few simple questions and
uses your answers to create the kind of array that best meets
your needs.
Select Custom Setup if you want to perform advanced opera-
tions, such as creating an array with more than two disks or
adding spare disks to an array.
ArrayConfigCA runs from a convenient, self-booting diskette. All
ArrayConfigCA functions, except creating bootable arrays, can also
be performed with Adaptec CI/O Workstation Array Management
Software, which runs under Windows NT.
Additional information on using ArrayConfigCA to create, delete,
and manage arrays and spares is available in the Adaptec
ARO-1130CA Array Management Guide.
