3. Choose the array type you want to create from the drop-down list.
4. Enter a name for the array (this is optional)
5. If you are creating a redundant RAID array (RAID1, 5, 10), select an initialization
option for the array.
Note: An un-initialized RAID1 or RAID10 array can still provide redundancy in case of
a disk failure. A RAID5 array, however, is not fault-tolerant until initialization is
finished.
6. If you are creating RAID5, specify a cache policy for the array:
Write-back
When the write-back setting is selected, writes to the array are cached. This will result
in higher performance, but data loss may occur in case of a power failure.
Write-through
When the write-through setting is selected, writes to the array are always passed
directly to the disks. Subsequent reads may still be completed from the cache, if
appropriate.
7. Select disks from the Available Disks list.
8. Enter a capacity for the array, or use the default value (the maximum capacity for
the array).
9. Click Create. If you have specified an initialization option, the initialization
process will start automatically.
Deleting an Array
To delete an array:
1. Select “Manage - Array” from the menu.
