Express Setup

Express Setup Configure Host Drives allows for easy installation of new host drives.

✏

NOTE

Creation of a host drive as Single Disk, RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10 is non-destructive so that the

partition table of the new drive (which could have conceivably been used on another SCSI HBA)

could have valid data. To prevent this from occurring, run a surface check on each disk before

creating hosts.

✏

NOTE

Apart from minor differences, this menu option is identical to menu option Configure Host Drives

in Advanced Setup, Chapter 7. In Express Setup, the user may not select a stripe size (defaults to

128KB) or use the Split/Merge functions.

After clicking on Configure Host Drives, StorCon displays a list of existing host drives. In a new

system this list shows no host drive entries. In the example in Figure 25one host drive is available,

and it is a RAID 5 array drive (with approximate 17GB capacity). The status is ready, meaning that

this host drive is fully available and redundant.
