Drive Configuration
Manual No. 775029 2-23
☛ Note
If you want to take advantage of “spanning” your
configuration across multiple arrays, you must enable
spanning FIRST, build the individual arrays, then
create logical drives that can make use of the spanned
capacity available. See “How Do I Make Use of the
Spanning Feature?” on page 2-54 for more complete
information about this option.
If you plan on only one array, or if you’d prefer to define logical drives
before building any additional arrays, you should move on to define logical
drives at this time.
☞ To build additional disk arrays, use the arrow key if necessary
to select No, then press Enter. Repeat the steps described in
“Build Disk Arrays.”
☞ To define logical drives at this time, use the arrow key if
necessary to select Yes, then press Enter.
❑ Define Logical Drives.
Logical drives for the array(s) you just set up are defined from the Logical
Drive Definition screen (Figure 2-23).

This screen uses the following navigation strategy:
• Arrow keys move among the logical drive definition fields.
