Create Logical Drive Screen
To display this screen, click
Create Logical Drive
in the
Array
box (Figure 7-7) on
the
ACU
Main Configuration
screen.
This screen allows you to select the fault-tolerance method, enable the array
accelerator (if present), and set the stripe size and logical drive size on a new logical
drive.
CAUTION:
Do not use this screen to modify a pre-existing logical drive, since this
method does
not
preserve user data. Instead, to change the RAID level and stripe
size on a logical drive that
already contains user data
, click
Migrate
to reach the
Migrate RAID/Stripe Size
screen (Figure 7-13).
