Figure 3-8 Drives Assigned Into Pack A (7.01 and Later Firmware)
Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8 show that four drives have been assigned into drive pack
A, which could become a RAID set. Every time a set of drives is assigned, the table
cell labeled
Next Assign moves to the next row down, where a new drive pack can
be created.
2. To remove a drive from a pack, click the undo box (for 7.01 and later firmware)
or click the Undo button (for 6.14 firmware), and the remaining drives in the
pack shift to the left, while the removed drive reappears with a cleared checkbox in
the RAID Subsystem table. Use the
Select Previous Pack button to reconfigure the
drive arrangement in an earlier drive pack.
Nothing is saved for several more screens, and you may cancel at any time by
pressing the
Cancel button. Use the Clear All button to deassign all drives from the
drive packs.
Note: You do not have to allocate all the drives to packs (or LUNs). If you choose not
to configure certain drives, they may be used at any time when you click Add
LUN(s) or Expand LUN (see Figure 3-5), if the characteristics of the LUN qualify for
expansion.
