3ware Disk Array Configuration Utility

3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide

The

3ware Disk Array Configuration

main display shows the current disk

drive configuration.

■

Available Drives

reports independent drives (JBOD) not associated with

an array and hot spares.

■

Disk Arrays

lists any existing arrays along with their member disks.

Figure 10. Disk Array Configuration Main Display, RAID 1 Example

Throughout the utility (see Figure 10) use the
