to save the logical drive.
If space is still available in the current array, the new logical drive appears in the array
and you can define additional logical drives in the current array. The Wizard continues
to create logical drives for the same array until there is no more space available in
the array, or until there are 40 logical drives in the array.
5
Open the
Span Arrays
list to create a logical drive that spans all defined arrays. An
array that encompasses both spanned arrays appears in the
Logical Devices
window.
Web Console labels the array A[array number]-[disk number]. The capacity in the
Size
list increases to reflect the total capacity of the spanned array.
6
When you have defined all logical drives for the selected adapter, click
Next
.
The
Preview Configuration
screen displays the arrays, logical drives, and hot spares for
the current adapter in the logical devices screen. The
Physical Devices
window displays
the status of the physical drives.
7
Click
Finish
to accept the displayed configuration. A dialog box prompts you to
initialize. We recommend initializing all newly created logical drives.
Initialize logical drives

Initializing a logical drive deletes all information on the physical drives
that compose the logical drive.
Important
When you are running the Configuration Wizard, you can remove the
most recently created logical drive by clicking
