View/Define Array - Promise Technology SuperTrak SX6000 User Manual

SuperTrak SX6000™ User Manual

1.1 View/Define Array

By pressing [2] on the "Main Menu" screen, the "Define Array Menu" screen is
displayed (see below). This screen may already display existing arrays. The "Define
Array Menu" screen allows users to manually begin the process of defining both drive
elements and RAID levels for each disk array. Users will commonly create one or two
drive arrays with SuperTrak SX6000.
To manually create arrays from the "Define Array Menu" below, use the arrow keys to
highlight an array number you wish to define, and press [Enter] to select. The "Define
Array Definition Menu" will next appear that allows drive assignments to the disk array
(see Page 19).
NOTE: Promise recommends that if you are creating a single array using SuperTrak
without a "hot" spare drive, do so through the "Auto Setup" screen under selection [1] of
the "Main Menu".
