1. Click the Create Array button. The Create Drive Array screen appears.
Figure 6-4. Create Drive Array screen
Always group physical drives of the same size. If you mix drive sizes, the capacity
of the larger drives is wasted.
Select the three drives you want to make up the array from the drives on
the left. For this example, the following drives were selected:
q Port 1:SCSI ID 0
q Port 1:SCSI ID 1
q Port 1:SCSI ID 2
2. Click the Assign Drive(s) to Array button.
Given the reliability of a particular generation of hard drive technology, the
probability of an array experiencing a drive failure increases with the number of drives in
an array. Compaq recommends that you limit the number of drives in an array to 14.
