Creating a Disk Array fig 3.5c
Your Galaxy 3G subsystem will be pre-configured with arrays setup as you have instructed or by application
default. If there is a reason to create a disk array follow this procedure:
1. Click on the Disk Arrays
icon, then click on the Create tab.
The Array Configuration menu appears. See Figure 3.5c.
2. Choose one of the options:
• Automatic – Creates a new disk array based on a default set of parameters, including one logical
drive. The number of unconfigured physical drives available determines the RAID level of the disk
array and whether a spare drive is created. See Automatic
• Express – Creates a new disk array based on the characteristics you specify. You can create
multiple logical drives. However, all of the logical drives will be the same size and RAID level. See
Express
• Advanced – Enables you to directly specify all parameters for a new disk array and its logical
drives. See Advanced .
3. Click the Next button.
Automatic
When you choose the Automatic option, the following parameters appear on the screen:
• Disk Arrays – The number of physical drives in the disk array, their ID numbers, configurable
capacity, and the number of logical drives to be created
• Logical Drives – The ID number of the logical drive(s), their RAID level, capacity, and stripe size
• Spare Drives – The physical drive slot number of the dedicated hot spare assigned to this disk array.
A hot spare drive is created for all RAID levels except RAID 0, when five or more unconfigured physical
drives are available
If you accept these parameters, click the Submit button. The new disk array appears in the Disk Array List
on the Information tab.
If you do NOT accept these parameters, use the Express or Advanced option to create your disk array.
