Creating a Disk Array
The CLU provides three methods of creating a disk array:
• Automatic – Creates a default disk array and logical drive based on
unconfigured physical drives in the system. No user choices. See “Creating
a Disk Array – Automatic” on page 190.
• Express – You choose the RAID characteristics and type of application.
Creates a disk array and logical drive(s) based on your input. See “Creating
a Disk Array – Express” on page 191.
• Advanced – You specify all parameters for a new disk array. One logical
drive will be made automatically when you create the disk array. If you
choose less than the total available capacity, you can use the remaining
space to create additional logical drives at a later time. See “Creating a Disk
Array – Advanced” on page 192.
