Removal and Replacement Procedures
Array Information
IMPORTANT:
You cannot add drives or remove drives from an array that has already been configured,
without destroying the data present on the already configured array.
The
Array Information
window of the setup screen displays all the drive arrays configured.
Use this section to create, delete, or edit the existing configurations. The drive arrays are
displayed as a node in a tree, like Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Explorer. When opened, each node
displays the properties of the array. Press the up arrow
and down arrow keys to navigate the
properties, and then press the
Enter
key to edit your selection.
Physical Drive Information
The
Physical Drive Information
window displays all the physical drives connected to the
ATA/100 controller channels and their properties. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to
navigate this section. This window cannot be edited.

window displays hints on available options and provides a list of keys that you can

All previous settings are lost when the

mirrored, and RAID 0+1 arrays.
Create Array (

creation. Use the arrow keys to highlight a property field, and then press the
Enter
key to
edit that property. The array properties are as follows:
—

—selects the intended RAID mode including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID
0+1, and Spare. The default for the
Array Type
option is RAID 0.
—
Drive(s)
—selects the drives for the array. This term refers to the drive number listed
in the
Physical Drives Information
box, not the number of drives attached. Use the
arrow keys, and then press the spacebar to select or deselect the drive or drives. Press
the
Enter
key when done. There is no default for this setting.
