Creating a Virtual Disk by Using a Serial
Connection
Command Console Client can create a number of different RAID levels on
your RA3000. You can create:
■ Single-device virtual disks Just a Bunch of Drives (JBODs)
■ Striped virtual disks (RAID 0)
■ Mirrored virtual disks (RAID 1)
■ Striped mirrored virtual disks (RAID 0+1)s
■ Striped parity virtual disks with fixed parity disk (RAID 4)
■ Striped parity virtual disks with floating parity disk (RAID 5)
Virtual disks are created using command console client’s Add Virtual Disk
Wizard.
NOTE: If you want to utilize both controllers in the subsystem, they must be configured
for active/active mode. See “ Configuring a Dual-Controller System ”
in Chapter 3 “ Using Command Console ” .

Access the subsystem’s storage window. Select Add Virtual Disk from the
Storage menu to start the Virtual Disk Wizard.
