Creating a Disk Array
The CLU provides three methods of creating a disk array:
• Automatic – 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 unconfigured physical drives are
available. See “Creating a Disk Array – Automatic” on page 140.
• Express – You choose the parameters for a new disk array by specifying the

drives are available. See “Creating a Disk Array – Express” on page 140.
• Advanced – You directly specify all parameters for a new disk array. Makes
one logical drive automatically. You can create additional logical drives at a
