3 - Creating an Array
To create an array:
1. Highlight the “Management” menu, then select the “Array Management”
function.
2. Click the Create button on the toolbar or select the “Create” command from the
“Operation” menu. The array creation wizard will appear.
3. Select the desired RAID level from the drop-down list.
4. Enter a name for the array using the keyboard (this is optional), and click the Next
button.
5. If you are creating a redundant array (RAID 1, 5, 10), select an initialization
option. If you are creating a RAID 0 or JBOD (volume), skip to step 6:
For RAID1 and RAID 10 arrays, the default initialization method is “No
initialization”.
For RAID5 arrays, the default initialization method is “Foreground”.
If you are creating RAID5, you will be asked to specify a cache policy:
Write-back - when the write-back setting is selected, all write requests sent to
the array are cached. This will result in higher performance, but data loss may
occur in case of a power failure.
