Running RAID Assist
RAID Assist is the Global Array Manager Client’s “wizard” for the setup
and configuration of new logical drives and disk arrays.
In its simplest form, RAID Assist provides an Auto Configuration option
which immediately configures all available drives into an optimal, RAID 5
configuration. RAID Assist’s
Assisted Configuration sets up a new array
according to predefined parameters, and asks the user questions to gather the
key information necessary to build the array.
If configuration needs go beyond what Auto or Assisted Configuration
offers, the
Manual Configuration
option allows additional control over
logical drive setup parameters.
Entering RAID Assist
Open RAID Assist by clicking Administration->RAID Assist on the menu
bar or the RAID Assist icon as shown in Figure 4-7.
