▼ To Create a New Array With the ACU
Note – You can create an array with the ACU and the Sun StorageTek RAID
Manager graphical user interface (GUI). However, it is a much quicker process to
create an array through the GUI than the ACU. Creating an array with the ACU
might take two to three times longer than creating an array with the GUI. For more
information, see the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager Software User’s Guide.
1. Select Create Arrays from the main ACU menu.
Only disk drives that can be used in a new array are available for selection. (Disk
drives must be initialized before they can be used in an array. See “To Initialize
Disk Drives With the ACU” on page 72 for more information.)
2. Use the Array Properties menu to modify the RAID level, size, name, stripe
size, and caching settings of the array.
Note – For more information about RAID levels and using disk drives to create
arrays, see “Selecting the Best RAID Level” on page 91.
Note – Creating a new array might change the BIOS boot order. Check the BIOS
settings to verify the correct boot order. For more information, see “Best Practices For
Controlling the Boot Order of Logical Drives” on page 87.
