Creating arrays and hot-spare drives
Complete the following steps to create arrays:
- Click the appropriate Array tab in the right pane:

Then, from the list of ready drives, select the drives
you want to add to the array: |
 |
- Click
>>
(Add selected drives) to add the drives to the array. You can click
>>
(Add all drives) to move all ready drives to an array.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional array or hot-spare drive that you
want to configure.
- If you do not want to create a spanned array, skip to step
5. Otherwise, select the Span arrays check box
.
Then, click Next. If you created two arrays only, the ServeRAID Manager
uses those arrays to create the spanned array; continue to step 5. Otherwise,
the "Create spanned arrays" window opens.
Note: To create
a spanned array, each array must have the same number of physical drives.
- After you select the ready drives for your arrays and hot-spare drive, click
Next. The "Create logical drives" window
opens.
To return to the "Configuration path"
window, click Back.
To leave the Configuration wizard, click Cancel.
