4.1.2.5 Formatting and Mounting Arrays
After creating a RAID array on the ExaSAN RAID system, the array appears as an
unformatted disk to the host system. Use the host's disk management utility to format
and mount the array for use.
Note
The following steps are for MAC users only. For PC users, consult
with your operating systems knowledge base on using the disk
management utility to format and mount arrays.
1. Restart the host system. In some instances, restarting the host system may not be
necessary, but if you are creating or adding arrays, you generally must restart before
the arrays are visible in Disk Utility.
2. Open Disk Utility on the host system.
3. Select the array in the list at the left side of the window.
4. Click on the Erase tab.
5. Choose a format for the array from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
6. Type a name for the array.
7. Click Erase and confirm by clicking Erase again. Once formatting is complete, the
array mounts on the host system.
8. Repeat for each new array.
