4. Under Variable Matching Criteria, you can set a rule to apply this configuration only if it matches certain criteria that you
select. Select
Apply this configuration only when variable to enable the rule setting options.
5. Click OK.
Editing a controller
To edit a controller, select the controller and click Controllers → Edit Controller. On the Controller Configuration window, you can
make changes to your controller.
Deleting a controller
1. Select the controller and click Controllers → Delete Controller.
A warning message that all the attached arrays and disks are deleted is displayed.
2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
NOTE: On a server, you require at least one controller. If there is only one controller and you delete it, then a
message that the default controller was inserted because the last controller was deleted is displayed.
Variable conditions
Variable evaluation is provided so that you can apply the configurations for arrays and logical drives to different situations.
Variable condition elements contain arrays and global hot spares, and are of two types:
• No variables defined: This is the default configuration inserted with every controller, and you cannot remove or move it from
last in the order.
• Variables defined: This is where any variable is compared to a value using one of the pre-defined operators.
Adding a new variable condition
To add a new variable condition under an embedded controller:
1. Expand Embedded Controller and select [No variable conditions defined].
2. Click Variables → New Variable Condition.
The Variable Condition Configuration window is displayed.
3. Under Variable Matching Criteria, you can set a rule to apply this variable only if it matches certain criteria that you select.
4. Click OK to apply the variable condition or Cancel to return to Array Builder.
Editing a variable condition
1. Select the variable condition and click Variables → Edit Variable Condition.
The Variable Condition Configuration window is displayed where you can make changes to your variable condition.
2. Click OK to apply the variable condition or Cancel to return to Array Builder.
Deleting a variable condition
1. Select the variable condition and click Variables → Delete Variable Condition.
A message that all the attached arrays and disks are deleted is displayed.
2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
Arrays
Array nodes include both RAID arrays and non-RAID disk groups (indicated by the different icons for RAID arrays and non-RAID
disks). By default, a non-RAID disk group is created when a controller is created. If the controller configuration specifies the number
of disks required, then the same number of disks are added to the non-RAID group.
• Arrays are added, modified or deleted depending on the controller configuration and number of disks available.
• Array elements contain logical drives and physical disks.
