Figure 7-10: Create Drive Array screen
The three buttons in the middle of this screen are:
• Assign Drive To Array
• Remove Drive From Array
• Assign Spare To Array
Modify Drive Array Screen
To display this screen, click Modify in the Array box on the ACU Main
Configuration screen. This screen resembles the Create Drive Array screen
(Figure 7-10), and allows you to change the configuration of your array.
Expand Array Screen
To display this screen, click Expand in the Array box on the ACU Main
Configuration screen.
The Expand Array screen resembles the Create Drive Array screen (Figure 7-10).
It allows you to add more hard drives to an array that has already been configured.
The extra capacity can be used to build another logical drive on the array, or to
extend a logical drive that already exists on the array.
