The controller will be updated with the new firmware code contained
in the .IMG (Mylex) or .ROM (MegaRAID) file.
6.6 Defragmenting an Array (Mylex Controllers Only)
Randomly deleting a logical drive(s) will result in unused spaces in an
array. Use this feature to unify space. You will need the following
information before beginning a defragmentation:
• The location of unused space for the creation of a new logical drive.
• Capacity expansion through MORE2 with an unused physical disk(s).
• A transportation model or other logical drives in the array where the
new logical drive is to be created.
To defragment an array:
1. Select Administration->RAID Assist on the menu bar or the RAID
Assist icon (see Figure 4.7).
2. Click the Manual Configuration button.
3. Click the Defragment Array button, and a Manual
Configuration/Defragment Array Window opens.
Figure 6.10 Manual Configuration/Defragment Array
This window displays all arrays under the selected controller. The
array at the top of the list is selected by default. If the selected array
has two or more unused spaces, the Apply button becomes enabled.
