The Build Type decides how the redundancy information is created. The Destructive Build
(only available if ICPCON was loaded with <Ctrl>+<G>) fills all hard disks with “0” and
no further parity calculation is necessary. This build method is pretty fast, but the build
must be successfully finished before you can leave ICPCON (otherwise the build mode is
automatically changed to
Non-destructive during the next boot). The Non-destructive
build calculates the redundancy information from the contents of the data stripes. It takes
longer, but can run in the background, for example, during the installation of the operating
system. See
Figure 10-91 .
Figure 10-91. Choose Build Type
A warning displays that all data will be destroyed after confirmation. ( Figure 10-92 ).

Figure 10-92. Create Array Drive Confirmation
If necessary, you can limit the array drive's capacity. See Figure 10-93 .
Figure 10-93. Drive Size Dialog
The array drive enters the build state, for example, the parity information is generated.
After completion of the build process the array drive's state is ready, or fault tolerant. See
Figure 10-94 .
