Figure 5. The Array Configuration menu
Automatic
When you choose the Automatic option, the following parameters appear on the
screen:
• Disk Arrays – The number of physical drives in the disk array, their ID
numbers, configurable capacity, and the number of logical drives to be
created
• Logical Drives – The ID number of the logical drives, their RAID level,
capacity, and stripe size
• Spare Drives – The physical drive ID number of the dedicated hot spare
assigned to this disk array
If you have both Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD), separate
disk array and logical drive sets will be created for your HDDs and for your SSDs.
These two drive types cannot be mixed in the same disk array.
If you accept these parameters, click the Submit button. The new disk array
appears in the Disk Array List on the Information tab.
If you do NOT accept these parameters, use the Express (page 34) or Advanced
(page 35) option to create your disk array.
