Partition and format other devices
Note: If you have disks or disk arrays other than your
boot device on the storage switch, you must partition and
format them before they can be written to or read from.
1 If you have other disk units to partition, run fdisk by selecting
Run... from the Start menu and typing fdisk in the dialog.
2 Restart the system again and format each device.
RAID array initialization
The completion of the system driver installation will start the RAID
array initialization process. This process may take several hours,
but it does not interfere with the installation of 3DM or the use of
the array.
Install the 3DM Disk Management Utility.
Refer to the 3DM Disk Management Utility chapter.
