Create Drive Array | ![]() |
For links and interfaces common to all Configuration Wizards links, please see Wizards Overview in ACU help. An array is a group of physical drives that are similar in size. In general, performance of the array increases as more drives are added because the controller can access more data at a time. The following screens will allow you to create an array with unassigned physical drives. Once an array is created, the unused space in the array becomes available for creating logical drives. The first option will be to select the physical drives that you want to use in the array from the unused drives listed. Note: Only physical drives of the same size (within 10 percent) should be added to the same array because all the drives within an array are reduced to the size of the smallest physical drive. For example, an array with three 2.1-GB drives and a 4.3-GB drive would be viewed as being the same size as an array with four 2.1-GB drives since the 4.3-GB drive is seen as a 2.1-GB drive. |
