Chapter 5: The FastTrak 100 RIAD Card (370DDE)

The Array Window (see above) displays information about the arrays
configured on your FastTrak100 through the FastBuild BIOS. From this
window, you can also perform data Synchronization of mirrored arrays,
or Rebuild data from one drive to a replacement drive within a mirrored
array.

While the Array Window does not allow you to change the array
configurations directly, it clearly identifies which drives are associ-
ated with each array shown in the left pane.

Viewing Array Information

By left-clicking on the Array #, the right pane shows the following
information categories for that array:

RAID mode: (Striping, Mirroring, Mirroring & Striping, Spanning)

Mapping: (similar to physical drive specifications) describing # of

cylinders, heads, and sectors of the array’s “virtual” drive as
seen by the system

Size: Storage capacity of the array
