Assigning Array Properties
Once you've create a new array, you are ready to assign properties to it.
Caution: Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you cannot
change the array properties using the ACU.
To assign properties to the new array:
1. In the Array Properties menu, select an array type and press Enter.
Only the available array types will be displayed on the screen. (RAID 0 or RAID 1
requires two drives.)
2. Under the item "Arrays Label", type in a label and press Enter. (The label cannot
contain more than 15 characters.)
3. For RAID 0, select the desired stripe size. Available stripe sizes are 16, 32,
and (the default) 64 KB. It is recommended that you do not change the default
setting.
4. The item: "Create RAID via" allows you to select between the different ways of
creating RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
The following table gives examples of when each is appropriate.
