Assisted Configuration - Mylex Global Array Manager Installation Manual And User's Manual

Running RAID Assist

Assisted Configuration

Assisted Configuration provides three options:
• New Configuration. Sets up a new configuration on the controller,
deleting the previous configuration and data (if any).
• Add Logical Drive. Sets up additional arrays (logical drives) leaving
the existing array(s) intact. At least one array must be configured on
this controller, and unconfigured drive space must remain.
• Expand Array. Restripes data in your array across additional,
unconfigured drives to expand the capacity of the array.
For example, open New Configuration as shown in Figure 4-12:
Assisted Configuration walks you step by step through a new configuration
(Figure 4-13). Each "tab" in the Assisted Configuration dialog box collects
information about an important aspect of the configuration you wish to set
up. During this process, you provide answers to several questions.
