Chapter 4 HP NetRAID Express Tools NOTE The New Configuration option erases the existing configuration information on the selected adapter. To create arrays by using New Configuration: 1. Choose Configure from the HP NetRAID Express Tools Management menu. 2. Choose New Configuration from the Configure menu. An array selection window is displayed showing the devices connected to the current adapter. Hot key information appears at the bottom of the window. The hot key functions are: Space Add the highlighted drive to the current array. Enter Stop adding drives to the current array, and configure the logical drive. F10 Display the logical drive configuration window. F2 Display drive information. F3 Display the logical drives that have been configured so far. F4 Designate the highlighted drive as a hot spare. 3. Press the arrow keys to highlight specific physical drives. Press the Spacebar to add the highlighted physical drive to the current array. The indicator for the selected drive changes from Ready to Onlin A[array number]-[drive number]. For example, Onlin A2-3 means array 2, disk drive 3. Add physical drives to the current array as desired. NOTE Try to use drives of the same capacity in a specific array. If you use drives with different capacities in an array, all the drives in the array are treated as though they have the capacity of the smallest drive in the array. The number of physical drives in a specific array determines the RAID levels that can be implemented with the array. 4. Press Enter when you finish creating the current array. To continue defining arrays, repeat Step 3. To begin logical drive configuration, go to Step 5. NOTE Before you press F10 to start the configuration of the logical drive, you must press Enter to end configuration of the array. 89
