Running RAID Assist

4-52 GAM Client v3.00 and WSAM User’s Manual

The Disk Arrays tab in Manual Configuration is where you begin to

configure your unused disk drives (lower left, Figure 4-46). Each disk array

is represented by two lines (for PCI RAID controllers), or one line (for

External RAID controllers) in the Disk Arrays area of the screen (upper left,

Figure 4-46). Logical drives (if any have already been configured) appear on

the right side.

☛ Note

For External RAID Controllers, there will be a fourth

tab called “4. Lun Mapping.” The Apply button for

External RAID Controller configuration resides on

the LUN Mapping page. See the section “LUN

Mapping in Global Array Manager (FW 5.x or

below)” on page 4-57, or the section “Host to LUN

Mapping in Global Array Manager (FW 6.x or

above)” on page 4-61 for more information.

Do the following:

1. Select an unused drive and drag it to the Disk Array A0 section. The

drive will be part of a disk array referred to as “A0.”

2. Select other unused drives and drag them to Disk Array A0, or click the

Add Array button to create a row for Disk Array A1 (then A2, A3,

etc.), then drag unused drives to A1 if you so desire.

☛ Note

Multiple drives can be added by holding down Ctrl

while clicking drives, then dragging the selected set to

a Disk Array section.

3. If you want to manually configure a hot spare, click an unused drive,

then click the Make Spare button.

4. If you want to start over, click the Clear All button and start again.
