Chapter 6: Configuring your RAID solutions
4
Click Accept to save the logical drive.
If space is still available in the current array, the new logical drive appears in the array
and you can define additional logical drives in the current array. The Wizard continues
to create logical drives for the same array until there is no more space available in
the array, or until there are 40 logical drives in the array.
5
Open the
Span Arrays
list to create a logical drive that spans all defined arrays. An
array that encompasses both spanned arrays appears in the Logical Devices window.
Web Console labels the array A[array number]-[disk number]. The capacity in the
Size
list increases to reflect the total capacity of the spanned array.
6
When you have defined all logical drives for the selected adapter, click Next .
The Preview Configuration screen displays the arrays, logical drives, and hot spares for
the current adapter in the logical devices screen. The Physical Devices window displays
the status of the physical drives.
7
Click
Finish
to accept the displayed configuration. A dialog box prompts you to
initialize. We recommend initializing all newly created logical drives.
Initialize logical drives
Select the adapter from the
Adapter
box. Select the logical drives you plan to initialize.
Select
Initialize
from the Logical Drive menu.
The Initialize screen has a separate window for each logical drive. A bar graph displays the
progress of the initialization. Click Abort if you want to stop the initialization.
Repeat this process for each adapter in the system.
Important
Do not create drives that span the current array and another array.
Uncheck the
Span Array box.
Caution
Initializing a logical drive deletes all information on the physical drives
that compose the logical drive.
Important
When you are running the Configuration Wizard, you can remove the
most recently created logical drive by clicking
Undo .
You cannot undo an array after you finish running the Configuration
Wizard.
