5.2.3. Create >2TB RAID Set for Windows XP (32bit):
If RAID is larger than 2TB, configure using multiple 2TB Volumes and then use
Windows to Span them together. This will end up with one drive letter of the full
capacity of the RAID .
1) Create the RAID Set under RaidSet Functions by selecting all of the drives.
Create multiple Volume Sets under the VolumeSet Functions
Select the desired Volume Raid Level
Set the Select Volume Capacity to 2199GB
Set Greater Two TB Volume Support to No
Set Volume Initialization Mode to No Init (if applicable)*
Check the Confirm the Operation box
Click Submit
Repeat this step until all of the space has been assigned.
* By setting the Volume Initialization Mode to “No Init” will result in immediate
availability of the RAID set, no need to wait for long initialization time.
See Appendix B for information on setting the LUN number to avoid conflicts
when transporting the Quad Packs from systems to system.

2) In Windows Disk Management, make these volumes as D ynamic Disks and
span them together to make one large disk. Spanning is recommended as
oppose to striping. Striping in this configuration requires more system overhead
and will actually reduce performance. Use Spanning.
