ARO-1130CA Installation and Hardware Guide
Creating an Array with Express Setup
ArrayConfigCA’s Express Setup option allows you to quickly create
an array by answering some basic questions about what kind of
array you want. This process is similar to the wizards used in many
Windows
®
programs. When you use the Express Setup option you
do not need to know the technical details of how arrays are
configured.
Follow these steps to create an array with Express Setup. (You can
probably complete the Express Setup process simply by following
the instructions that appear on the screen.)
Note:
ArrayConfigCA requires at least one available SCSI
hard disk drive in order to create an array (a one drive
RAID 0 array is supported to achieve maximum single drive
caching performance). (“Available” means that the disk
drive is not already being used to store data.) To select
ArrayConfigCA menu options, type the hot key—the letter
that appears in a different color. (The hot key letters are
underlined in the following instructions). You can also press
the
↑
and
↓
keys until the option is highlighted and then
press Enter.
1
Insert the ArrayConfigCA diskette in drive A and reboot your
computer. Wait until ArrayConfigCA starts automatically.
2
Read the text that appears on the initial ArrayConfigCA
screens. Press any key to view the next screen, or press Esc to
return to the previous screen.
3
When you see the Setup Type Selection Menu, select Express
Setup.
4
When the next screen appears, select the type of array you
want to create:
– Select Optimized for Performance if you want the fastest
possible data input and output from the new array. This
kind of array does not have special data protection fea-
tures, however. When prompted, type the number of disks
you want in this array.
