configuration.
After you click Finish, the new storage configuration is created and initialized according to the selected options.
NOTE If you create a large configuration using drives that are in Power-Save
mode, it could take several minutes to spin up the drives. A progress
bar appears as the drives spin up. If any of the selected unconfigured
drives fail to spin up, a dialog appears that identifies the drives.
After the configuration is completed, a dialog notifies you that the virtual drives were created successfully.

capacity exists, you are prompted to close the configuration session.

If you select Ye s , the system takes you to the Create Virtual Drive window, as shown in Figure 155 on page 264. If
you select No, the utility asks whether you want to close the wizard.
11. If you selected No in the previous step, select either Ye s or No to indicate whether you want to close the wizard.
