Adding Devices
The controller must identify all physical devices before they can be used as
virtual disks. On startup or restart, the RA3000 will automatically recognize
any new devices you have installed in the pedestal. You can also add devices
online without restarting the controller. To add a device insert the device in the
slot, select Device from the Storage menu; then New to access the Add New
Device dialog box and then click the OK button (Figure 3– 22).
