2.For this example, select Single Disk - JBOD and choose a target ID (by default you can create up to eight logical units under a single ID). Click on OK.

The RAID Manager responds by displaying a message window advising you to click on the disk we wish to use (in our physical view) for the single disk. In our example, we select (click on) the disk in the lower, left corner of the physical view.

3.After selecting the disk, click on Create in the message window

The RAID Manager responds by updating the physical view (see Figure 3–7). The physi- cal view now shows the lower left disk superimposed with the letter “ J,” to indicate JBOD (Single Disk). Note also that the status bar at the bottom of the window has been updated to reflect the added component. Figure 3–7 Updated Physical View – Disk (JBOD) Added

3.6.3 Practice Example: Creating a Stripeset

Click on the Configure button near the top of the main window, if necessary, to display the three configuration buttons in the right side of the window: Create, Modify, and CLI.

To create a Stripeset, perform the following steps:

1.Click on Create.

The Create button opens and displays the Create window (see Figure 3–6). Use the Cre- ate window to select from the following choices of storageset types: SPARE, RAID 0 - Stripeset, RAID 1 - Mirrorset, RAID 5/3 - Raidset, RAID 0+1, and Single Disk - JBOD

CAUTION

The EISA SWIA3-BB (Adaptec 2744W) is limited to one LUN per target ID. You must choose a different target ID for each storage set.

2.For this example, select RAID 0 - Stripeset. Then, in the Set Name box, supply (enter) a name for the Stripeset. For our example, the name is “ Stripe1”. Click on OK when fin- ished.
