Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array ● 46
7 Review the information that is displayed.
Note:
In DAS environments, ICP Storage Manager uses the term logical drives when
referring to arrays (see page 12).
In this example, ICP Storage Manager has used thirteen equal-sized disk drives to
automatically create one logical drive with RAID 5 and a hot spare.
To exclude specific disk drives from the logical drive, specify a size for the logical drive, or
to make other changes to the configuration, click Modify logical devices.
8 Click Apply, then click Ye s when prompted to confirm applying your new configuration.
ICP Storage Manager builds the logical drive.
The configuration is saved on the ICP controller (as an “array”, see page 12) and on the
physical disk drives.
9 Partition and format your logical drive.
The logical drive you created appears as a physical disk drive on your operating system.
Yo u must partition and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data.
10 Close all windows, then click Reboot to restart your system.
11 Remove the ICP Storage Manager Installation CD.
For information on installing and using ICP Storage Manager as a full software
application, refer to the ICP Storage Manager User’s Guide or online Help.
