Using New Configuration
Follow the steps below to create arrays using New Configuration. The New Configuration
option allows you to associate logical drives with partial and/or multiple physical arrays (the
latter is called spanning of arrays). To use the spanning feature and keep the existing
configuration, use View/Add/Delete Configuration.
Choosing the New Configuration option erases the existing configuration information on the
selected controller.
To use New Configuration:
1. Choose Configure from the Management menu.
2. Choose New Configuration from the Configure menu. An array selection menu shows
the devices connected to the current controller.
