The system prompts you to confirm array creation. Select
Yes
and
press <Enter>.
A message notifies you that the array is being created and shows
the progress of the initialization process. The array initialization
process takes from several minutes to more than an hour
depending on the array type (volume, RAID 0, and RAID 1 are the
fastest), array size, drive speed, and other processes running on the
EF2800.
You can press <Esc> to return to the Disk Array Administrator menus
and perform other functions. To check the progress of the array
initialization, select
Array Menu
from the System Menu. The status of
the initialization displays in the list of arrays.
If you find that you need to change the disks or some other array
configuration, you can stop the array initialization process. See section
D.2.2 on page 222 .
You must create at least one partition before you can use the array. See
section
D.2.3 on page 222 .
NOTE: Most operating systems, such as Windows NT 4.0, require you to
restart the host system to see the new array. Windows 2000 can recognize
new LUNs by selecting Refresh from the Computer Management Window.
NetWare v3.12 and later can recognize new devices by typing the
command SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES at the console prompt. Other
operating systems might have similar features.
