To create a new disk array:
1. Enter a name for the disk array in the field provided.
2. Check the box to enable the following features.
Media Patrol – A routine maintenance procedure that checks the
magnetic media on each disk drive. Media Patrol is concerned with the
condition of the media itself, not the data recorded on the media.
PDM – Predictive Data Migration (PDM) scans the bad sector
remapping table of the disk drives assigned to a logical drive. When the
table fills to a specified percentage of its capacity, PDM triggers a
migration of data from the suspect drive (the disk drive with the bad
sectors) to a spare disk drive.
3. Highlight physical drives you want in the disk array from the Available list and
press the >> button to move them to the Selected list.
You can also double-click them to move them.
4. When you are done, click the Next button.
