Figure 9-36 View of the Definition method panel
From the Definition method panel, if you choose Create arrays automatically, the system
will automatically take all the space from an array site and place it into an array. You will also
notice that by clicking the check box next to
Create an 8 disk array, that two 4 disk array
sites will be placed together to form an eight disk array. Physical disks from any array site
could be placed, through a predetermined algorithm, into the array. It is at this point that you
create the RAID-5 or RAID-10 format and striping in the array being created.
If you choose to create arrays automatically, the screen will advance to the Array
configuration (Auto) panel, as shown in Figure 9-37.
