Choosing a RAID Level:
A pull-down list of supported RAID levels will
appear. In this chapter, RAID 5 will be used to
demonstrate the configuration process. Choose a
RAID level for this logical drive.
Choosing Member Drives:
Choose your member drive(s) from the list of available physical
drives. The drives can be tagged for inclusion by positioning the
cursor bar on the drive and then pressing [ENTER]. An asterisk ()
mark will appear on the selected physical drive(s). To deselect the
drive, press [ENTER] again on the selected drive. The “” mark will
disappear. Use
keys to select more drives.
Logical Drive Preferences:
After all member drives have been selected, press ESC to continue
with the next option. A list of array options is displayed.
Maximum Drive Capacity:
As a rule, a logical drive should be composed of drives of the same
capacity. A logical drive can only use the capacity of each drive up
to the maximum capacity of the smallest drive.
