(To boot from an array, you must also install the operating system software on the array, as described in later chapters.) - Select Disk Array will not be a Boot Drive if you do not want your system to boot from the new array. 7 When you have finished all these menu selections, wait while ARRAYCONFIG U2 creates the array. This may take a long time, especially if the drives are large in capacity. A message appears when the array has been created.
