Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array ● 55

7 Review the information that is displayed.

Note:

In DAS environments, Adaptec Storage Manager uses the term logical drives when

referring to arrays (see page 13).

In this example, Adaptec Storage Manager has used thirteen equal-sized disk drives to

automatically create one logical drive with RAID 5 and a hot spare.

To exclude specific disk drives from the logical drive, specify a size for the logical drive, or

to make other changes to the configuration, click Modify logical devices.

8 Click Apply, then click Ye s when prompted to confirm applying your new configuration.

Adaptec Storage Manager builds the logical drive.

The configuration is saved on the Adaptec controller (as an “array”, see page 13) and on the

physical disk drives.

9 Partition and format your logical drive.

The logical drive you created appears as a physical disk drive on your operating system.

Yo u must partition and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data.

10 Close all windows, then click Reboot to restart your system.

11 Remove the Adaptec RAID Controller Installation DVD.

For information on installing and using Adaptec Storage Manager as a full software
