Running RAID Assistant

RAID Assistant is the FCArray Assistant's "wizard" for the setup and
configuration of new logical drives and disk arrays. RAID Assistant can operate in
three modes:
Automatic Configuration - This operation mode is the simplest to use
because it provides an auto configuration option with minimal input, which
immediately configures all available drives into an optimal, RAID 5
configuration.
Assisted Configuration - This operation mode sets up a new array
according to predefined parameters and asks the user questions to gather
the key information necessary to build the array.
Manual Configuration - This operation mode provides more control over
logical drive setup parameters, including LUN Mapping for RAID
Controllers, if the configuration needs go beyond what Auto or Assisted
Configuration offers.
Use the Manual Configuration mode for the following items:
Load balance logical drives across Dual-Active controllers (LUN
Mapping)
Expand an Existing Array (See the section "Special Features in Manual
Configuration.")
