4.1.2.5 Formatting and Mounting Arrays
After creating a RAID array on the ExaSAN RAID system, the array appears as an unformatted
disk to the host system. Use the host's disk management utility to format and mount the array
for use.
Note
The following steps are for MAC users only. For PC users, consult with
your operating systems knowledge base on using the disk
management utility to format and mount arrays.
1. Restart the host system. In some instances, restarting the host system may not be
necessary, but if you are creating or adding arrays, you generally must restart before the
arrays are visible in Disk Utility.
2. Open Disk Utility on the host system.
3. Select the array in the list at the left side of the window.
4. Click on the Erase tab.
5. Choose a format for the array from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
6. Type a name for the array.
7. Click Erase and confirm by clicking Erase again. Once formatting is complete, the array
mounts on the host system.
8. Repeat for each new array.
4.1.2.6 Email Notification Setting
It may be necessary for network administrators to receive e-mails in the event of errors, alerts,
and changes to the RAID array. These alerts can be e-mailed to a maximum of 20 e-mail
addresses.
