5.5.3.2 Custom Configuration
If you select Custom Configuration, the Power Console Plus utility displays
the Array Definition Screen with a new array in the Logical Devices
window. Each logical drive has a label (such as
LD0 ), RAID level, and
drive capacity. Spanned arrays use hyphenated array numbers such as
LD0-1 , which indicates disk drive 1 in array 0.
Table 5.12 describes the custom array configuration options. The
following subsections provide detailed descriptions of these options.
Add to Array – You can assign physical drives to a new array by
selecting any combination of physical drives in the
READY status and
clicking the Add to Array button.
You cannot add a physical drive to an already existing drive with the
Configuration Wizard. Refer to
Section 5.7.1, “Adding a Physical Drive to
an Existing Array,” for information on how to add a physical drive to an
existing array.
Assigning Hot Spares – Select the icon for any physical drive in the
READY state and click Add Spare to add the selected drive to the global
hot spare pool.
Removing a Physical Drive from an Array – You can selectively
remove hard drives from an existing array only on the main menu.
Refer to
Section 5.7.2, “Removing a Physical Drive from an Array,” for
more information.
