StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Subsystem Family

To begin the configuration process, first you create a drive group.

______________________ NOTE____________________________

The total capacity of a drive group is determined by the member with the

least capacity. If you are uncertain about the size of a particular drive, use

the Device Information option on the Define Drive Group screen to check

the size before you create a drive group.

If you select a drive for the drive group by mistake or you want to redefine a drive

group, use the Cancel Group option and begin again. However, you can only use the

Cancel Group option until you arrange the drive groups. Once you use the Arrange

Group option, the Cancel Group option does not function.
