Promise Technology Vess A Series Quick Start Guide

Creating your LogiCaL driVes
On a newly activated Vess A6120 system, there are no disk arrays or logical
drives. To create a logical drive:
1. Log in to Web PAM PROe. If there are no arrays congured, you will
be automatically directed to the Disk Array Conguration menu.
Disk Array menu (when no arrays present)
2. The Disk Array Conguration menu offers three options for
conguration. Choose one of the options:
• Automatic Conguration – Creates a new disk array following a default set of
parameters. Makes one logical drive automatically. Also makes a hot spare drive
for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least four uncongured physical drives are
available.
• Express Conguration - You choose the parameters for a new disk array by
specifying the characteristics you want. You can create multiple logical drives at
the same time, however they will all be identical. You can choose to make a hot
spare drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least four uncongured physical
drives are available
• Advanced Conguration– You directly specify all parameters for a new disk
array. Makes one logical drive automatically. You can create additional logical
drives at a later time, if additional congurable capacity is available. Does not
make a hot spare drive.
