Define Physical Arrays And Dedicated Hot Spares - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 5
3. Click one of the following configuration modes:
Select Custom if you want to define the arrays and logical drives and
set their parameters.
Select Automatic if you want the HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard to
define the arrays and logical drives (and set their parameters) for you
automatically.
When you select Automatic mode, you can toggle the Redundancy
check box at the bottom of the window. If the Redundancy box
contains an "X," the arrays are automatically configured with
redundant logical drives if possible. They will be assigned RAID levels
of 1 or 5, depending on the number and capacities of the physical
drives. If the Redundancy box is empty, all logical drives are
configured as RAID 0, which is not redundant. See "Automatic
Configuration" in Chapter 4 for a complete list of the rules used in
Automatic configuration.
4. Click the Next button.
5. If you chose Automatic mode, skip to "Preview Configuration" later in
this chapter.

similar to the display shown in Figure 5-7 depending on your configuration. The
"new array" in the Logical Devices box shows where a new array can be defined.
