6.6.1.2 Arranging a Drive Group
Arrange drive groups to specify the order in which you want to use them. The
configuration utility allows you to create logical RAID drives on only one drive
group at a time. You must use all of the disk space available on a drive group
before you can begin creating logical RAID drives on the next group.
To arrange the drive groups in the order in which you want to use them, follow
these steps:
1. If the Arrange Group option does not already appear highlighted, use the
arrow keys to highlight it and press the Enter key. The cursor moves to the
first defined drive group.
NOTE
If you press the Esc key while arranging groups,
you lose the unassigned drive groups and must
recreate them.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a drive in the group you want to
arrange. Press the Enter key. The drive group and size information for the
arranged drive group appears in the table at the lower-right side of the
screen, as shown in Figure 6–17. If you defined only one drive group, the
New Configuration menu appears with the Define Logical Drive option
highlighted.
Otherwise, repeat this for each drive group that you defined. When you
arrange the last drive group, the New Configuration menu appears with the
Define Logical Drive option highlighted.
This completes the creation of your drive groups. Now, follow Section 6.6.2 to
create logical RAID drives on your drive groups.
