By default, the RAID Disk field shows No before array creation. This field
is grayed out under the following conditions:
• The disk does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID
array.
• The disk is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary
drive.
• The disk has been selected as the Hot Spare for the RAID array.
• The disk is already part of another array.
6. A confirmation screen appears.
Press <M> to keep existing data on the first disk. If you choose this
option, data on the first disk will be mirrored on the second disk that
you will add to the volume later. Make sure the data you want to
mirror is on the first disk.
Press <D> to overwrite any data and create the new IM array.
