Removal and Replacement Procedures
Array Information
IMPORTANT: You cannot add drives or remove drives from an array that has already been configured,
without destroying the data present on the already configured array.
The Array Information window of the setup screen displays all the drive arrays configured.
Use this section to create, delete, or edit the existing configurations. The drive arrays are
displayed as a node in a tree, like Microsoft
displays the properties of the array. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to navigate the
properties, and then press the Enter key to edit your selection.
Physical Drive Information
The Physical Drive Information window displays all the physical drives connected to the
ATA/100 controller channels and their properties. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to
navigate this section. This window cannot be edited.
Help
The Help window displays hints on available options and provides a list of keys that you can
use to perform tasks, such as:
•
Switch Windows (the Tab key)—switches the control back and forth between the Array
Information and the Physical Drive Information windows.
•
Auto Configure RAID 0 (the F1 key)—automatically creates and configures a striped
array based on the available physical drives installed.
•
Auto Configure RAID 1 (the F2 key)—automatically creates and configures a mirrored
array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have a minimum of two
free hard drives in the array.
•
Auto Configure RAID 0+1 (the F3 key)—automatically creates and configures a RAID
0+1 array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have four hard
drives in the array.
IMPORTANT: All previous settings are lost when the Auto Configure option is run for striped,
mirrored, and RAID 0+1 arrays.
•
Create Array (the F4 key)—creates a drive array. When this option is selected, a default
array template is created. You must edit the array properties to complete the array
creation. Use the arrow keys to highlight a property field, and then press the Enter key to
edit that property. The array properties are as follows:
— Array Type—selects the intended RAID mode including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID
— Drive(s)—selects the drives for the array. This term refers to the drive number listed
2-22
0+1, and Spare. The default for the Array Type option is RAID 0.
in the Physical Drives Information box, not the number of drives attached. Use the
arrow keys, and then press the spacebar to select or deselect the drive or drives. Press
the Enter key when done. There is no default for this setting.
