Creating Arrays Before you use Adaptec Storage Manager to create an array, make sure that you understand the different types of arrays supported, as described in Supported RAID Types on page 1-2, and the type of arrays that are most appropriate for your application.

This wizard offers the following options: ■ Create arrays using default settings. ■ Expand the wizard by clicking on Advanced to see additional options and customize settings.

To create an array using default settings: 1 Open the Create Array wizard by clicking Create for the controller on which you want to create an array. 2 Select the type of array you want to create in Step 1 of 3 in the Create Array wizard. Then click Next to move to Step 2 of 3. 3 Click the drives you want to include in the array. Selected drives will display an amber check mark. When you have completed your selection click Next to move to Step 3. Note: The check marks will flash until you have selected enough drives to create this type of array. 3-12
