▼ To Manage Existing Arrays With the ACU
1. Select Manage Arrays from the main ACU menu.
2. From the Manage Arrays menu, do any of the following:
■ View the properties of an array.
Note – Failed drives are displayed in a different text color.
■ Make an array bootable. See “To Make an Array Bootable With the ACU” on
page 51.
■ Assign or remove hot-spares.
■ Delete an array.
Caution – Before deleting an array, back up the data to avoid permanently losing it.
▼ To Make an Array Bootable With the ACU
Note – You might need to change the system BIOS to modify the boot order. For
more information, refer to your computer documentation.
1. Select Manage Arrays from the main ACU menu.
2. Select the array that you want to make bootable, then press Ctrl-B.
Note – You cannot make an array bootable while it is building, verifying, or
rebuilding.
The array number changes to Array 00, which makes the array the boot array.
3. Restart the computer.
▼ To Initialize Disk Drives With the ACU
If a disk drive is displayed grayed-out (unavailable for use in a new array), it might
need to be initialized.
● Select Initialize Drives from the main ACU menu.
