ARO-1130U2 Installation and Hardware Guide
Creating an Array
Before creating the array, make sure the disks for the array are con-
nected and installed in your system (or array enclosure), and that
you have run the Array1000 BIOS & Driver Selection Utility, as
described in Chapter 3. You can use ArrayConfigU2 in two ways:
■
Select Express Setup if you want to create an array quickly and
easily. ArrayConfigU2 asks you a few simple questions and
uses your answers to create the kind of array that best meets
your needs.
■
Select Custom Setup if you want to perform advanced opera-
tions, such as creating an array with more than two disks or
adding spare disks to an array.
Creating an Array with Express Setup
Follow these steps to create an array with Express Setup. (You can
probably complete the Express Setup process simply by following
the instructions that appear on the screen.)
Note:
To select ArrayConfigU2 menu options, type the hot
key—the letter that appears in a different color. (The hot key
letters are underlined in the following instructions). You can
also press the
↑
and
↓
keys until the option is highlighted
and then press Enter.
1
Insert the ArrayConfigU2 diskette in drive A and reboot your
system. Wait for ArrayConfigU2 to start automatically.
2

to view the next screen, or press Esc to return to the previous
screen.
3
When you see the Setup Type Selection Menu, select Express
Setup.
