Creating a Stripe Set
In Windows 2000, the disks in a stripe set must be dynamic disks. Since disks
are not usually shipped in this format, you may need to upgrade your disks
before you can stripe them. The Disk Manager in the Computer Management
console automatically detects whether your disks need to be upgraded to
dynamic disks.
To upgrade to dynamic disks
1. Right-click on My Computer and choose Manage.
The Computer Management console is displayed.
2. Use the tree (left) to navigate to Storage > Disk Management.
If the disks in your storage array are not dynamic, the Write Signature and
Upgrade Disk Wizard is displayed.
3. Click Next.
The Select Disks to Upgrade dialog box is displayed.
If you attempt to create a stripe set from non-Avid drives, Avid
makes no representation that the stripe set will perform to Avid
specifications for your application or sequence. Consequently,
Avid|DS Customer Service will not be able to support any system
issues caused by the non-Avid drives or the stripe set.
