4. Click the plus sign (+). In the Create Parity Groups window, review the
list of unused disk types in the storage system. This information is
grouped by disk type, disk speed, and disk capacity, and includes the
following details:
• Number of available disks.
• Available spares detected for each disk type, disk speed, and capacity.
• Number of new or additional spares to reserve. This calculation is
based on the total spares needed based on recommended best
practices, and the number of existing spares in the system.
• The recommended RAID configuration for the disk type.
• The number of parity groups that can be created.
• The total usable capacity that is available based on the number of
parity groups and the RAID configuration.
5. Choose one of the following options:
• Accept the recommended RAID configuration, which uses the full
capacity of the installed drives.
• Change the RAID configuration or create fewer parity groups. If you
make changes, you might not use the full capacity of the installed
drives.
