Creating a Disk Array
The CLU provides three methods of creating a disk array:
•
Automatic – Creates a new disk array following a default set of parameters.
Makes one logical drive automatically. Also makes a hot spare drive for all
RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least five unconfigured physical drives are
available. If you have multiple enclosures, multiple disk array and logical
drive sets are created. See ―Creating a Disk Array – Automatic‖ on
page 226.
•
Express – You choose the parameters for a new disk array by specifying the
characteristics you want. You can create multiple logical drives at the same
time, however they will all be identical. You can choose to make a hot spare
drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least five unconfigured physical
drives are available. See ―Creating a Disk Array – Express‖ on page 227.
•
Advanced – You directly specify all parameters for a new disk array. Makes
one logical drive automatically. You can create additional logical drives at a
later time, if additional configurable capacity is available. Does not make a
hot spare drive. See ―Creating a Disk Array – Advanced‖ on page 228.
