Creating a RAID Group

When creating a RAID Group, you can use the available capacity on any hard disk that is connected to

your system. You can include disk devices that have never before been used to store data. You can also

include disk devices that have previously been designated as Pass-Thru devices if those disks are no

longer needed as Pass-Thru devices. However, data that has already been stored on a Pass-Thru device

will be overwritten when the hard disk drive becomes a member of a newly created RAID Group. To

create a RAID Group, use the following procedure:

1. Select

Create RAID Group from the RAID Group menu or right-click a controller in the RAID

Groups window and select

Create RAID Group from the pop-up menu.

Note: Throughout this manual, the term “right-click” refers to using the secondary button on your

mouse to perform the indicated operation. On a Windows or Linux system, use the mouse button

that you have defined to be the “right” button (which by default is on the right side of the mouse,

unless you have changed the primary and secondary buttons using Control Panel

Mouse on

Windows). On a Macintosh system, press and hold the COMMAND (Apple) button and click the

mouse.
