Configuration

Select the array type (RAID0, RAID3, RAID4, RAID5, RAID50, Volume, or Mirrored)

and press Enter.

NOTES: A RAID 10 array is created when there are more than two (2) drives in a mirrored

array.
If RAID 50 is selected as the RAID type, the Select RAID 50 Array Size screen displays

all possible configurations for the array and drive combinations. Select the desired

configuration and press Enter. Skip to Step 7.
For all other RAID types, the Number of Drives screen will display (Figure 16).

Figure 15: RAID Type Screen

NOTES:

Most UNIX, LINUX, and Macintosh operating systems require the controller

LUN to be a higher value than all array LUNs. Before creating the first array,

change the controller LUN to a higher value or choose NONE (best option)

if not using CAPI to manage the arrays. This allows the first array to be

seen at LUN 0.
The system will now warn you about the LUN for UNIX and Macintosh (see

notes above), the first time an array is created. Press Enter and the

system will ask if you want to be warned again. Select No to avoid re-

ceiving this warning again (otherwise, select Yes to be warned the next

time an array is created).
The RAID Type screen should now display (Figure 15).
