Creating A Spanned Disk Array - Mylex Global Array Manager Installation Manual And User's Manual

Creating a Spanned Disk Array

Note
Spanned disk arrays cannot be created across a
Private and Shared channel.
1. Click on the Disk Arrays tab.
2. Click on the Add Array button to add the desired number of arrays.
Each time you click the Add Array button, an array will be added to
your configuration (A1, A2, A3, etc...). For this example, assume that
A0 has been configured before adding new arrays.
Note
Multiple drives can be added by holding down Ctrl
while clicking drives, then dragging the selected set to
a Disk Array section.
3. In the Unused Disk Drives/Global Hot Spares (MB) pane, drag and
drop the available disk drives to the appropriate disk array (A0, A1,
etc...). See Figure 4-41.
You can now configure the desired amount of logical drives.
Select the Logical Drives tab to configure your disk arrays into logical
drives. It works the same as Manual/New (see "Manual Configuration" on
page 4-22). Note that the only logical drives that will be spanned are those
whose capacity is taken from more than 1 array.
