166 System Configuration Setup Configuring MegaRAID IDE Create Array (F4) Press the key to create a disk array. When you create an array, a default array template is created. You must edit the array properties to complete the array creation. Use arrow navigation keys to highlight a property field and press to edit that property. See the following section for information about setting each property field. Array Type By default an array is created in stripe mode. When you select this field, a pop-up window displays the following options: RAID MODE STRIPE MIRROR RAID 10 SPARE POOL Select the intended RAID mode by using the arrow navigation keys and pressing the key. The SPARE POOL option is not a RAID mode, but a way to assign physical drive(s) as hot spare to be used in case of a mirror failure. When a mirror configured array has a drive fail, a spare drive can be used to replace the failed drive and rebuild the array. NOTE: To rebuild a drive from the SPARE POOL, the size of the physical drive in SPARE POOL must be greater than or equal to the smallest drive in the array. Drive(s) There is no default setting for this field. You must select the drives for the configured array. When this field is selected, a pop-up window will display all the available physical drives with checkboxes.
