Running RAID Assist 4-23

Each disk array is represented by two lines in the Disk Arrays area of the

screen (upper left, Figure 4.22). Logical drives (if any have already been

configured) display on the right side.

Do the following:

1. Select an unused drive and drag it to the Disk Array A0 section. The

drive will be part of a disk array referred to as “A0.”

2. Select other unused drives and drag them to Disk Array A0, or click

the Add Array button to create a row for Disk Array A1 (then A2, A3,

etc.), then drag unused drives to A1 (or A2, A3, etc.) if you so desire.

Note:

Multiple drives can be added by holding down Ctrl while

clicking drives, then dragging the selected set to a Disk

Array section.

3. If you want to manually configure a hot spare, click an unused drive,

then click the Make Spare button. If you want a dedicated hot spare,

drag and drop the hot spare to the desired disk array.

4. If you want to start over, click the Clear All button and start again.

5. Once you have assembled the disk array groups, click the Logical

Drives tab to continue on to logical drive setup (Figure 4.23)

Figure 4.23 Manual Configuration – Logical Drives

The Logical Drives tab in Manual Configuration is where you configure

your disk arrays into logical drives.
