9.1.5 Creating a Virtual Drive Using Advanced Configuration
The advanced configuration procedure provides an easy way to create a new storage configuration. Advanced
configuration gives you greater flexibility than simple configuration because you can select the drives and the virtual
drive parameters when you create a virtual drive. In addition, you can use the advanced configuration procedure to
create spanned drive groups.
Follow these steps to create a new storage configuration in the advanced configuration mode. This example shows
the configuration of a spanned drive group.
