Setup Raid 1 And 10 Arrays - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Configuration Manual

From the Windows NT Start menu, click Programs|NetRAID|NetRAID Assistant.
The HP NetRAID Assistant program loads and displays its main window.
HP NetRAID Assistant lists the Physical Devices (actual physical drives) and Logical Devices (RAID arrays)
on the NetRAID Assistant screen. The Physical Devices heading lists the drives in columns by channel.
Some clusters do not use channel 2 and so no devices will be listed. Likewise, some clusters only use one
channel and so both channels 1 and 2 will be devoid of entries.
To view the properties of a physical or logical device listed, double-click the device. The number in
parentheses to the right of each physical drive icon is its SCSI ID. The state of each physical drive appears to
the right of the SCSI ID. Initially the device will be described as READY. The possible states of a physical
drive are as follows:

array consists of two drives that contain exactly the same data. That is, all of the data on one drive is
replicated (mirrored) on the other. Since each drive contains a complete copy of all data, all data is still
