Express Setup
Configure Host Drives
Express Setup Configure Host Drives allows for easy installation of new host drives.
✏
NOTE
Creation of a host drive as Single Disk, RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10 is non-destructive so that the
partition table of the new drive (which could have conceivably been used on another SCSI HBA)
could have valid data. To prevent this from occurring, run a surface check on each disk before
creating hosts.
✏
NOTE
Apart from minor differences, this menu option is identical to menu option Configure Host Drives
in Advanced Setup, Chapter 7. In Express Setup, the user may not select a stripe size (defaults to
128 KB) or use the Split/Merge functions.
Host Drive States
After clicking on Configure Host Drives, StorCon displays a list of existing host drives. In a new
system this list shows no host drive entries. In the example in Figure 26 one host drive is available,
and it is a RAID 5 array drive (with approximate 17 GB capacity). The status is ready, meaning
that this host drive is fully available and redundant.
