RAID EzAssist User’s Manual
“Would you like to configure a RAID drive now?”
The answer depends on whether you want to change any of the default
parameters and settings for this Mylex RAID Controller. If you are a new or
inexperienced user, the default settings will probably suit your needs just
fine.
If you are an advanced user, now’s the time to change any controller
parameters that you wish-- before a RAID configuration is set on the
controller!
☞
If you want to adjust controller parameters, use the arrow key
to select No, then press Enter.
Please see Chapter 3 for information on changing Global, SCSI, and Startup
parameters. Return here when you’re done to continue first-time RAID
configuration.
☛
Note
After changing controller parameters, select
Configure a RAID Drive from the main menu to
proceed.
☞
If you want to begin configuring your first RAID drive without
changing controller options, press Enter with Yes selected.
❑
Choose a Configuration Method.
Three configuration methods are available to you. The method you choose
will depend in part on your experience with RAID technology and the
number and relative sizes of the disk drives connected to the controller.
The table on the following page can help you decide which method is most
appropriate for your situation.
