Creating a Security Array with New Drives
Notes
Under the Security setting, FastTrak TX4000 permits two
drives to be used for a single Mirrored array or four drives to
be used for a Mirrored/Striped array in Auto Setup.
When creating a Security array with new drives, a feature
called Gigabyte Boundary will automatically be set to ON.
For a description of the Gigabyte Boundary feature, see
page 23.
To create an array for data protection using new hard drives, follow these steps:
1. Using the Spacebar, choose Security under the Optimize Array for section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection.
3. The window below will appear.
Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another? (Yes/No)
Y - Create and Duplicate
N - Create Only
4. Press N for the Create Only option.
5. A window will appear almost immediately confirming that your Security array
has been created. Press any key to reboot the system.
Array has been created.
6. Proceed with normal FDISK and format procedures as if you had just
installed a new hard drive.
7. Once the arrayed drives have been formatted, proceed to Chapter 4 to
install your operating system and/or FastTrak TX4000 driver.
