3 Array Management

Creating an Array

To create an array:

1)

Select “Manage - Array” from the menu.

2)

Click the Create Array button. The create array page will appear.

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:

7-5
