When the next menu appears, select a boot order for the new
array.
– Select Disk Array will be Boot Drive if you want your sys-
tem to boot from the new array. If you selected Optimized
for Data Protection in Step 4, booting from an array safe-
guards the information on your boot drive. (To boot from
an array, you must also install the operating system soft-
ware on the array, as described in later chapters.)
– Select Disk Array will not be a Boot Drive if you do not
want your system to boot from the new array.

When you have finished all these menu selections, wait while
ARRAYCONFIG U2 creates the array. This may take a long
time, especially if the drives are large in capacity.
A message appears when the array has been created. An error
message appears if fewer than two drives are available or if
ARRAYCONFIG U2 encounters some other problem. If this
happens, install more drives or run ARRAYCONFIG U2 again
and use the Custom Setup option.

When the array is created, exit ARRAYCONFIG U2, remove
the ARRAYCONFIG U2 diskette, and reboot the system. After
you reboot you can write data to the array.
