Drive Assignments Options
Under the [ Drive Assignments ] section, highlight a drive and with the [Space] bar
key change the Assignable option to "Y" to add the drive to the disk array. Press
<Ctrl-Y> to save the disk array information. Depending on the array type selected,
the following scenarios will take place:
1) If choosing a Striping, Spanning, or Mirroring/Striping array, the initial Define
Array Menu screen will appear with the arrays defined. From there you may
ESC to exit and return to the Main Menu of FastBuild.
2) If you selected a Mirroring array for two drives, there is an additional window
that appears as described in order to create the array. To do this you will use
either two brand new drives, or one drive that contains existing data that you
wish to mirror.
