Info

Press [ENTER] to confirm and then press [ESC] to continue when all the preferences have been set. A confirm box will appear on the screen. Verify all information in the box before choosing “Yes” to confirm and proceed. A controller event will prompt to indicate the logical drive initialization has begun. Tap [ESC] to cancel the “Notification” prompt and a progress indicator will be displayed on the screen as a percentage bar. When a fault-tolerant RAID level (RAID 1, 3, or 5) is selected, the controller will start initializing parity. Once the logical drive initialization is completed, use the [ESC] key to view the status of the created logical drive. IMPORTANT! • Mind that only logical drives with RAID level 1, 3 and 5 will take the time to initialize the logical drive. Logical drives with RAID level 0 and NRAID do not have the necessity to perform logical drive initialization; the drive initialization will be finished immediately. Terminal Operation 8-7
8-8 8.5 Creating a Logical Volume A logical volume consists of one or several logical drives. Choose “View and Edit logical volumes” in the main menu. The current logical volume configuration and status will be displayed on the screen. Choose a logical volume number (0-7) that has not yet been defined, then press [ENTER] to proceed. A prompt “Create Logical Volume?” will appear. Select “Yes” and press [ENTER]. Select one or more logical drive(s) available on the list. The same as creating a logical drive, the logical drive(s) can be tagged for inclusion by positioning the cursor bar on the desired drive and then press [ENTER] to select. An asterisk (*) will appear on the selected drive. Press [ENTER] again will deselect a logical drive. Logical volumes can also be assigned to different controllers (primary or secondary). Default is primary. Press [ESC] if change is not preferred. Infortrend
