Creating Arrays

Before you use Adaptec Storage Manager to create an array, make

sure that you understand the different types of arrays supported,

as described in Supported RAID Types on page 1-2, and the type of

arrays that are most appropriate for your application.

Click Create to open the Create Array wizard. This wizard offers

the following options:

■ Create arrays using default settings.

■ Expand the wizard by clicking on Advanced to see additional

options and customize settings.

Using the default settings will create an array of the largest

possible capacity on the selected drives, use the default cache

setting and, if appropriate, the default stripe size.

To create an array using default settings:

1 Open the Create Array wizard by clicking Create for the

controller on which you want to create an array.

2 Select the type of array you want to create in Step 1 of 3 in the

Create Array wizard. Then click Next to move to Step 2 of 3.

3 Click the drives you want to include in the array. Selected

drives will display an amber check mark. When you have

completed your selection click Next to move to Step 3.

Note: The check marks will flash until you have selected

enough drives to create this type of array.
