Figure 6-1: First Screen Conﬁguration Wizard

The menu lists three conﬁguration modes:

•Auto Conﬁguration automatically creates an optimal conﬁguration from the avail- able disk drives.

•Manual Conﬁguration gives you the greatest level of control in creating a new virtual disk.

•Guided Conﬁguration asks you a few simple questions about what kind of conﬁgu- ration you want and then automatically creates it from the available disk drives.

Note: You can use Auto, Guided, or Manual mode to create a RAID 0, or RAID 1 conﬁguration. To create a RAID 10 conﬁguration, you must use the Manual Conﬁguration mode.
