The following section details how to use the
Advanced Configuration Wizard
to apply
more than one storage policy to volumes in the SAT3550ESR Drive Enclosure.
While the
Basic Configuration
provides six predefined storage policies to quickly
configure the Drive Enclosure, the
Advanced Configuration Wizard
allows you to
configure up to ten volumes, each with different storage policies and capacities.
The
Advanced Configuration Wizard
is an extension of
Basic
mode that allows you to
create two volumes (virtual drives) on each physical hard disk.
