Note: Carefully determine which drives you want to include in
the array before beginning the selection process. If you
change your mind after selecting the drives for an array,
you can delete the array (by selecting Delete Disk Array
from the Create/Delete Array menu) and then begin
again.
4. Select each drive you want in the array by using the Up Arrow
(↑) key or the Down Arrow (↓) key to highlight the drive and
then pressing Enter. As you select each drive, the status will
change from RDY (Ready) to ONL (Online).
5. When you have selected all the drives you want to include in
the array, press Esc. The cursor will become active in the menu.
Note: When the stripe unit size is 8 K or 16 K, the maximum
number of drives in an array is 16. When the stripe unit
size is 32 K or 64 K, the maximum number of drives in
an array is 8.
