3.5 View / Define Array

By pressing [3] from the “Main Menu” scree n, the “Define Array Menu” is
displayed (see Figure 9 below). There may already be existing arrays configured on
this screen or it may appear as indicated in the figure below. The Define Array
screen allows users to manually begin the process of defining both drive elements
and RAID levels for each disk array. Users will commonly create one or two drive
arrays with SuperTrak66.

To manually create arrays from the Define Array Menu below, use the arrow keys
to highlight an array number you wish to define, and press [Enter] to select. The
Define Array Definition Menu will next appear that allows drive assignments to the
disk array (see p.23).

NOTE: Promise recommends that if you are creating a single array using
SuperTrak without a "hot" spare drive, do so through the “Auto setup” screen
under selection [1] of the Main Menu.
