Creating Arrays
Before you create arrays, make sure that the disks for the array are connected and
installed in your system. Note that disks with no usable space, or disks that are
un-initialized or not formatted are shown in gray and cannot be used. (*Note: It is
recommended that you confi gure devices before you create arrays.)
To create an array:
1. From the main menu (shown on page D-4), select Create Array.
2. Select the disks for the new array and press Insert (as the screen shown below).
(*Note: To de-select any disk, highlight the disk and press Delete.)
3. The arrays you have selected will appear on the Selected Drives dialog box on
the right (as shown below.)
4 Press Enter when both disks for the new array are selected. The Array Proper-
ties menu displays.
