The disks selected must all be on the same loop.

If a list of disk drives is displayed, and the list contains enough disk drives for the
array you are creating, go to step 6 on page 69.

If no list is displayed, or the list does not contain enough disk drives, go to
“Changing or Showing the Use of an SSA Disk Drive” on page 144 for a description
of how to assign disk drives as array candidates. When you have enough candidate
disk drives, return to step 6 on page 69 in this section.
