Defragmenting An Array - Mylex Global Array Manager Installation Manual And User's Manual

Defragmenting an Array

Randomly deleting a logical drive(s) will result in unused spaces in an array.
Use this feature to unify space. You will need the following information
before beginning a defragmentation:
• The location of unused space for the creation of a new logical drive.
• Capacity expansion through MORE2 with an unused physical
disk(s).
• A transportation model or other logical drives in the array where the
new logical drive is to be created.
To defragment an array:
1. Select Administration->RAID Assist on the menu bar or the RAID
Assist icon (see Figure 4-7).
2. Click the Manual Configuration button.
3. Click the Defragment Array button, and a Manual Configuration/
Defragment Array Window opens.
Figure 6-11. Manual Configuration/Defragment Array
This window displays all arrays under the selected controller. The array
at the top of the list is selected by default. If the selected array has two
or more unused spaces, the Apply button becomes enabled.
The Logical Drives in the selected array pane shows the RAID level
and size of the logical drives.
