Intergraph InterRAID-8e Hardware User's Manual page 79

The spanning options are:
Configuring RAID 10, RAID 30, or RAID 50 Logical Drives.
Configure RAID 10 by spanning two to four contiguous arrays, each containing one
RAID 1 logical drive. The RAID 1 logical drives must have the same stripe size. For
example, you can use the span option to configure up to four pairs of RAID 1 drives. Up
to eight physical drives can appear as one large RAID 1 logical drive.
Configure RAID 30 by spanning two to four contiguous arrays, each containing one
RAID 3 logical drive. The RAID 3 logical drives must have the same stripe size.
Configure RAID 50 by spanning two to four contiguous arrays, each containing one
RAID 5 logical drives. The RAID 5 logical drives must have the same stripe size.
8. Set the logical drive size. Move the cursor to Size from the bottom of the logical drive
configuration screen, and press
By default, the logical drive size is set to all available space in the array(s) being
associated with the current logical drive, thus accounting for the Span setting and for
partially used array space. For example, if the previous logical drive used only a part of
the space in an array, the current logical drive size is set to the remaining space by
default.
9. Select Advanced from the bottom window of the logical drive configuration screen to set
the remaining options.
NOTE For a description of the options, refer to the table in "Using Easy Configuration."
10. After setting the options, press
11. When you finish defining the current logical drive, highlight Accept from the bottom
window of the logical drive configuration screen, and press
remaining in the arrays, the next logical drive to be configured displays.
12. To configure another logical drive, repeat steps 6 through 9. If the array space has been
used up, a list of the existing logical drives displays. Press any key to continue and
respond to the Save prompt.
13. Initialize the logical drives you have just configured as discussed later in this chapter.
