Creating a Unit through 3DM
In 3DM, creating a unit starts from the Management > Maintenance page
(Figure 45).
Figure 45. 3DM Maintenance Page
To create a unit
1 In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.
2 In the Available Drives list, select the drives you want to include in the
unit by marking the checkbox in front of the VPort number for each one.
(This will be a port number if you are using a controller other than the
9690SA)
All drives in a unit must be of the same type—either SAS or SATA.
Although the best practice is to create a unit from drives in the same
enclosure, you can create a unit with drives from different enclosures.
3 Click Create Unit .
A window similar to the one below shows the drives you selected, and
lets you specify configuration settings.
