2.5.1.4 Creating a Disk Array
1. Select Create/Delete Array from the Main Menu.
2. Select Create Disk Array from the Create/Delete Array menu and press
Enter.
3. Using the Enter key, select each drive you want included in the array you are
now defining. The devices will be highlighted as they are selected and the
status changes from RDY to ONL (online). Also, the array ID (A for the first
one, then B and so on) appears behind the drives that make up the array.
4. Press Esc to validate.
