Using the Array Configuration Utility

The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) enables you to manage,
create, and delete arrays from the controller's BIOS. You can also
initialize and rescan drives.
You can use the ACU to create a bootable array for the system. We
recommend that you configure the system to boot from an array
instead of a single disk to take advantage of the redundancy and
performance features of arrays. For details, see
Bootable on page

Managing Arrays

Use the Manage Arrays option to view array properties and
members, make an array the boot array, manage failover
assignments, and delete arrays. The following sections describe
these operations in greater detail.
