Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide
When the Array Configuration Utility is started, the software checks the
configuration of the RA4000 and its drive arrays. If the arrays are
unconfigured or if the configuration is less than optimal, the configuration
wizard guides you through the configuration process. The configuration
wizard recognizes the following conditions:
■ Unconfigured controller—When the Array Configuration Utility
detects an unconfigured controller, the configuration wizard leads you
through the controller configuration process.
■ Unused physical drives—When the Array Configuration Utility detects
unused physical drives, the configuration wizard provides an easy way
to add them to an array. The “capacity expansion” capability of the
RA4000 allows the Array Configuration Utility to add new physical
drives to an existing array without destroying data on the existing
logical drives.
■ Unused space on an array—If the Array Configuration Utility detects
unused capacity in an array, the configuration wizard leads you through
the process of configuring the space into one or more logical drives.
