Configuration 23
10. Select the chunk size and press Enter.
The chunk size is the amount of contiguous data that is written to an array member
before moving to the next member of the array. To determine the appropriate chunk
size, refer to the operating system's documentation (for example, the default chunk
size for Windows NT and many other operating systems is 64KB).
The system will now confirm your request to create the array.
11. Select Yes and press Enter.
A message will notify you that the array is being created and will show the progress
of the initialization process. The array initialization process takes from several minutes
to more than an hour depending on the array type (RAID 0, RAID 1, and Volume are
the quickest), array size, drive speed, and other processes running the controller.
Press Esc to return to the Disk Array Administrator Utility and perform other functions.
To check the progress of the array initialization, select Array Menu from the System
Menu. The status of the initialization will display in the list of arrays.
The array initialization process can be stopped (refer to section "Stopping the Array
Initialization Process" for further information).
NOTE: Most operating systems (such as Windows NT 4.0) require the host system to be
rebooted to see the new array. NetWare v3.45 (and later) can recognize new de-
vices by typing the command SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES at the console prompt.
Other operating systems might have similar features.
