Chapter 2 HP NetRAID Assistant To create a logical drive that spans two or more arrays: NOTE The arrays to be spanned must have sequential array numbers and must contain the same number of physical drives. HP NetRAID Assistant will attempt to span up to four arrays. Array spanning stops when: • It has created a logical drive of the size you specify in Step 2 below. • The next sequentially numbered array has a different number of drives. Spanned arrays must contain the same number of drives in each array. 1. Click the Span Arrays box to mark it with a check. An array labeled with a hyphenated number, such as A0-1 or A0-3, appears in the Logical Devices box. 2. If you know the exact size of the logical drive you want, enter it in the Size (MB) box. If you don't identify the size of the logical drive, the default size reflects the maximum number of arrays that can be spanned. 3. Define the logical drive as described above. To remove the last logical drive that was added: 1. Click the Undo button. 2. You can continue undoing logical drives by clicking Undo. When you are done defining logical drives: • When all the logical drives are defined for the adapter and you have clicked the Accept button for the last one, click the Next button. The Next button does not operate until one of the following conditions has been satisfied: ◊ All capacity has been assigned to logical drives. ◊ Eight logical drives have been defined. 34

Chapter 2
HP NetRAID Assistant
34
To create a logical drive that spans two or more arrays:
NOTE
The arrays to be spanned must have sequential array numbers
and must contain the same number of physical drives.
HP NetRAID Assistant will attempt to span up to four arrays.
Array spanning stops when:
•
It has created a logical drive of the size you specify in
Step 2 below.
•
The next sequentially numbered array has a different
number of drives.
Spanned arrays must contain the same number of drives in
each array.
1.
Click the
Span Arrays
box to mark it with a check. An array labeled with
a hyphenated number, such as A0-1 or A0-3, appears in the Logical
Devices box.
2.
If you know the exact size of the logical drive you want, enter it in the Size
(MB) box.
If you don’t identify the size of the logical drive, the default size reflects
the maximum number of arrays that can be spanned.
3.
Define the logical drive as described above.
To remove the last logical drive that was added:
1.
Click the
Undo
button.
2.
You can continue undoing logical drives by clicking Undo.
When you are done defining logical drives:
•
When all the logical drives are defined for the adapter and you have
clicked the Accept button for the last one, click the
Next
button.
The Next button does not operate until one of the following conditions has
been satisfied:
◊
All capacity has been assigned to logical drives.
◊
Eight logical drives have been defined.
