RAID Configuration
Create Arrays
Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized.
Important
y
For redundant arrays, the Create process is not finished until after the operating
system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to
the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a
bootable array or a data array.
y
If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the
Arrays section must be the bootable array. The system boots only from the first array
in the Arrays section. As necessary, use the Swap Two Arrays feature to swap arrays
and place the bootable array in the first position.
To create an array
1. At the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Create Array and press Enter.
2. Select the disks with which to create the array by pressing Insert key.
