Copying an existing disk array: You can use the following instructions to create a complete copy (including the RAID configuration information) of an existing array. You can use this procedure to duplicate the current disk-array configuration for use on another system. To copy an existing disk array: 1. Back up the configuration of the source system to a diskette. (See "Backing up the disk-array configuration" on page 126.) 2. On the source system, create a copy of the disk array that you want to use on another system. For example, if you want a copy of Array A to use on another system, create an Array B that is identical to Array A. (See "Creating disk arrays manually" on page 104.) 3. Copy all logical drives from the source array to the target array. For example, if you made an identical copy of Array A and that copy is Array B, you would copy all logical Netfinity 5500 - Type 8660 123

Copying an existing disk array:
You can use the
following instructions to create a complete copy (including
the RAID configuration information) of an existing array.
You can use this procedure to duplicate the current
disk-array configuration for use on another system.
To copy an existing disk array:
1.
Back up the configuration of the source system to a
diskette.
(See “Backing up the disk-array
configuration” on page
126.)
2.
On the source system, create a copy of the disk array
that you want to use on another system.
For example, if you want a copy of Array A to use on
another system, create an Array B that is identical to
Array A.
(See “Creating disk arrays manually” on
page 104.)
3.
Copy all logical drives from the source array to the
target array.
For example, if you made an identical copy of Array A
and that copy is Array B, you would copy all logical
