Chapter 4 HP NetRAID Express Tools (For definitions of the Write policy, Read policy, Cache policy, and their options, see the "Glossary.") Press Esc to exit the Advanced Menu. 9. Highlight Span and press Enter to set the spanning mode for the current logical drive. The options are: • CanSpan: Array spanning is enabled for the current logical drive. The logical drive can occupy space in up to four arrays. • NoSpan: Array spanning is disabled for the current logical drive. The logical drive can occupy space in only one array. If you select CanSpan, HP NetRAID Express Tools attempts to span up to four arrays. Array spanning stops when: • It has created a logical drive of the size you specify in Step 7 above. • The next sequentially numbered array has a different number of drives. (Spanned arrays must contain the same number of drives in each array.) For example, assume Array 1 contains four disk drives. Also assume that Arrays 2 and 3 have four disk drives, but Array 4 has three disk drives. HP NetRAID Express Tools will span Arrays 1, 2, and 3 but not Array 4. 10. When you are finished defining the current logical drive, highlight Accept and press Enter. If there is space remaining in the arrays, the next logical drive to be configured appears. To configure another logical drive, repeat Steps 6 to 9. If the array space has been used up, a list of the existing logical drives appears. Press any key to continue and respond to the Save prompt. 11. Initialize the logical drives you have just configured. See "Initializing Logical Drives" for more information. Creating Arrays by Using View/Add/Delete Configuration View/Add/Delete Configuration allows you to add new arrays to an existing configuration. The new arrays you create can use array spanning. The existing configuration is left intact, so you can use this selection simply to look at the current configuration. 1. Choose Configure from the HP NetRAID Express Tools Management Menu. 2. Choose View/Add/Delete Configuration from the Configure menu. An array selection window is displayed showing the devices connected to the 91
