Creating a Disk Array with the Wizard
The Wizard creates disk arrays and logical drives automatically. It has four
options.
• Optimal Configurations – You choose a script designed to set up your disk
arrays, logical drives, and spare drives for a specific target application.
Each script requires a specific model of RAID subsystem. And most scripts
require a specific model and number of JBOD expansion units. You cannot
cannot modify these scripts.
• Automatic – Creates a new disk array following a default set of parameters.
Creates a hot spare drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, when five or
more unconfigured physical drives are available. You can accept or reject
the proposed arrangement but you cannot modify it.
• Express – You choose the parameters for a new disk array by specifying the
characteristics you want. You can create multiple logical drives at the same
time, however they are all identical. Creates a hot spare drive for all RAID
levels except RAID 0.
• Advanced – Enables you to specify all parameters for a new disk array,
logical drives and spare drives.
