Creating a Disk Array<br />

The CLU provides three methods of creating a disk array:<br />

• Automatic – Creates a new disk array following a default set of parameters.<br />

Makes one logical drive automatically. Also makes a hot spare drive for all<br />

RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least five unconfigured physical drives are<br />

available. If you have multiple enclosures, multiple disk array and logical<br />

drive sets are created. See “Creating a Disk Array – Automatic” on page 115.<br />

• Express – You choose the parameters for a new disk array by specifying the<br />

characteristics you want. You can create multiple logical drives at the same<br />

time, however they will all be identical. You can choose to make a hot spare<br />

drive for all RAID levels except RAID 0, if at least five unconfigured physical<br />

drives are available. See “Creating a Disk Array – Express” on page 116.<br />
