Viewing Drive Assignments - Promise Technology FASTtrak100 TX User Manual

Viewing Drive Assignments

The View Drive Assignments <2> option in the Main Menu displays whether drives
are assigned to a disk array or are unassigned.
Under the "Assignment" column, drives are labeled with their assigned disk array or
shown as "Free" if unassigned. Such "Free" drives can be used for a future array or
used as a spare drive when a drive fails in a mirrored array, provided the free drive's
capacity is equal to or larger than the smallest array member. Unassigned drives are
not accessible by the OS. The menu also displays the data transfer mode that relates
to speed used by each drive (U5 refers to 100MB/sec transfers, U4 refers to
66MB/sec transfers, etc...)
