6. If you selected Host Adapter in step 4, proceed to the next
step; otherwise, select the channel mode for each enabled
Channel x Mode section. To configure the channel as a

a drive channel, select Drive.

The Demo program creates a virtual disk array system based on
the configuration specified in the Demo Configuration Options
dialog box. For each drive channel, the program places four
SCSI drives, which you can increase if you want by simply
scanning in drives from unoccupied connectors.
You may now start managing the selected disk array system
using the available commands. Try experimenting on various
commands to see how the system reacts, and also to help clarify
the use of such commands. All disk array icons on the screen
respond accordingly
on disk array management, see Chapter 4, Array Management.
NOTE:
settings you specify in Demo mode do not have any effect on
the actual disk array system installed in your computer,
assuming you have one installed. Everything you do under
the Demo mode is only a simulation.

allows you to fail a drive (that is, one physical drive) from any

particularly useful in testing the response of the selected disk
array system when there is failure in one of its drives.
