If
data scrubbing is disabled or your controller firmware does not support data
scrubbing, consider manually synchronizing your logical drives weekly. This does
not alter data on the drive.
If data scrubbing is disabled on your ServeRAID controller, you can enable
data scrubbing, but not through the ServeRAID Manager console. Instead, use the
IPSSEND command-line program included on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD.
For more information, refer to the IBM ServeRAID User’s Reference.

Creating
logical drives: Complete the following steps to create logical drives:
1. Start the custom configuration wizard and complete all previous steps.
2. Click the appropriate Array tab.
3. Select a RAID level from the drop-down list.
Note:
a. RAID level-5E and RAID level-5EE allow only one logical drive per
array.
b. If you are configuring a spanned array, you can set the RAID level
only for the first logical drive you create.
c. If you plan to use ″ Change RAID level,″ you must assign the same
RAID level to all logical drives within a single array.
Attention: Before assigning a logical drive RAID level-5E or RAID level-5EE,
consider the following. If a physical drive fails during a post-failover
resynchronization, the logical drive will enter the blocked state. Data might be
lost or damaged.
4. If you do not want to use the maximum size for the logical drive, type the size
in the Data (MB) field.
Note:
a. You can define up to eight logical drives per controller. There are two
