3.2.2 Using Easy Configuration

When you select the Easy Configuration option, the CU creates one or

more arrays from the available physical drives and configures each array

as a single logical drive. If logical drives have already been configured,

the CU does not change their configuration. Follow these steps to create

a logical drive using Easy Configuration:

1. Select Configuration→ Easy Configuration from the Management

Menu. A list of available (READY) physical drives appears.

2. Use the arrow keys to select the physical drives to include in the

array.

3. Press the spacebar to add each selected physical drive to the new

array.

When you select a physical drive, its status changes from READY to

ONLIN A[array number]-[drive number]. For example,

ONLIN A00-01 means array 0, disk drive 1.

4. To create a global hotspare drive, highlight a READY disk drive and

press F4. Then select Yes from the pop-up menu.

5. To define multiple arrays, select all the drives you want for the first

array, then press Enter to start selecting drives for the second array,

and so on.

6. When you have selected drives for all desired arrays, press F10.

7. Press the spacebar to select an array.

The Logical Drive Configuration screen appears, as shown in

Figure 3.2. This screen shows the logical drive number, RAID level,

logical drive size, number of stripes in the physical array, stripe size,

and state of the logical drive.
