Using Auto Configuration

Auto Configuration creates a configuration by following these steps:
1. Gathers drives with the same capacity into groups of five, four, or three.
These groups become arrays with RAID level 5 logical drives.
2. Gathers pairs of drives with the same capacity together. These pairs
become arrays with RAID 1 logical drives.
3. Configures any remaining single disk drives as arrays with RAID 0 logical
drives.
Auto Configuration does not create any hot spares. If you want to configure hot
spares, use the Easy Configuration or New Configuration selections.
