ICP RAID Console
In the Select Host Drive screen, you can press <F4> to view the level-by-level detailed
information on a host drive and its components which help in getting an overview of a
specific host drive. Press <F5> to switch the hard disk LEDs of the selected host drive on
and off. Press <F10> to refresh the window.
You can create new host drives from the Select Host Drive Screen by selecting the Create
new Host Drive menu option ( Figure 10-41 ) and pressing Enter. Before creating a new
host drive, the ICP RAID controller scans all channels for free hard disks (for example,
hard disks which are not yet part of a host drive) and displays these free disks in the Select
Physical Drive screen (see
Figure 10-42 ). Use the arrow up and down keys to move the
selection bar from one hard disk to another, and use the space bar to select/deselect hard
disks. Marked hard disks show an ‘*’ in the first column.
After selecting the hard disks, press Enter, and the Choose Type window becomes active
(see
Figure 10-42 ). The Choose Type window displays all host drive types and enables the
appropriate types depending on the number of selected hard disks and the firmware level
of the ICP RAID controller. Select the appropriate RAID level type and press Enter to
confirm your selection.

ICPCON displays a security message pointing out that all existing data on the selected
hard disks will be destroyed (see
Figure 10-43 ). Press <Y> to continue with creating the
new host drive or press <N> to cancel and return to the Select Physical Drive screen.
Figure 10-43. Create Host Drive Confirmation
After you press <Y>, ICPCON displays the Used Capacity per Drive popup window (see
Figure 10-44 ). You may limit the capacity of each selected hard disk for the new host
drive. This can be helpful when procuring future spare hard drives (see Section 2.1,
Determine the RAID Configuration for details). Type in the capacity to use per hard disk
and press Enter.
