3.3 Quick Install

It is easy to use “Quick install” to create a volume. It uses whole physical disks to create a RG. The system will calculate maximum spaces on RAID levels 0/1/3/5/6/0+1. “Quick install” will occupy all residual RG space for one VD, and it has no space for spare disk. If spare disk is needed, please create RG and VD manually. If some physical disks are already used in another RG, “Quick install” can not be used because the function is valid only when all physical disks in the system are free.

Step 1: Select “Quick install” then choose the RAID level. After choosing the RAID

level, click the button. It will link to another page.

Step 2: Confirm page. If all setups are correct, click . Then a newly created VD will be shown.

You can start to use the system now.

In the screenshot above, a RAID 0 RG named “QUICK53542” and a VD named “QUICK86938”, both of which are named by the system itself, has total available size of 3725GB.
