5.5.3.1

Automatic Configuration

If you chose Automatic Configuration, Power Console Plus displays the
proposed RAID configuration in the Logical Devices window. Each logical
drive has a label (such as

LD1

), RAID level, and drive capacity. Spanned

arrays use hyphenated array numbers, such as

LD1-1

. Click the

Redundancy box to instruct the Wizard to configure redundant arrays
when possible. Click Finish to complete the configuration process.

You can click Reclaim to undo the array. Depending on the complexity of
the array, clicking Cancel and repeating the configuration process might be
easier. You can reclaim an array only if there are no logical drives defined.
Follow these steps to reclaim an array that has defined logical drives:

Step 1.

Undo the logical drive on the Logical Drive Definition screen.

Step 2.

Click Back to display the Array Definition screen.

Step 3.

Select the array to be reclaimed.
