Chapter 3. Installing and Using the RAID Array 410 Manager for Windows NT

The RAID Manager responds by displaying a message window advising you to click on at least two disks (in our physical view) to use for the Stripeset.

3.Select the disks to use for the Stripeset. In our example, we select (click on) the two bottom disks disk in the lower, right corner of the physical view. When finished, click on Create in the message window.

The RAID Manager responds by updating the physical view (see Figure 3–8). The physi- cal view now shows the two Stripeset disks superimposed with the letter “ 0,” to indicate RAID 0 - Stripeset. Note also that the status bar at the bottom of the window has been updated to reflect the added component.
