F.3.11.2 Create New Array Screen
The Create New Array screen (shown below) allows you to select disks for a new
array.
TABLE F-10 describes the fields of the screen.
For an IM volume, when the first disk is added you are asked about the data on the
disks. You have two options:
■ Press M to keep the existing data and migrate to an IM array. Disk synchronization
will occur.
■ Press D to overwrite existing data, and create a new IM array. All data on all disks
in the array will be deleted. No synchronization occurs.
