Creating a Disk Array
On a newly activated VessRAID subsystem, there are no disk arrays or logical
drives. To create a disk array:
1. Click on the Disk Arrays icon, then click on the Create tab.
The Array Configuration menu appears. See Figure 19.
2. Choose one of the options:
• Automatic – Creates a new disk array following a default set of
parameters. Makes one logical drive automatically. Also makes a hot
spare drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least five
unconfigured physical drives are available. If you have multiple
enclosures, multiple disk array and logical drive sets are created. See
page 38.
• Express – You choose the parameters for a new disk array by
specifying the characteristics you want. You can create multiple logical
drives at the same time, however they will all be identical. You can
choose to make a hot spare drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at
least five unconfigured physical drives are available. See page 39.
• Advanced – You directly specify all parameters for a new disk array.
Makes one logical drive automatically. You can create additional logical
drives at a later time, if additional configurable capacity is available.
Does not make a hot spare drive. See page 40.
