Appendix C: Software Installation

4.The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID. However, during a build operation, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or fi rst drive.

5.When migrating from a single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive.

6.Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows dynamic disks (volumes), as it will result in data loss.

Warning: Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If you do, you will not be able to restart or recover the data from the source drive.

Adding a Bootable Array

To make an array bootable:

1.From the Main menu, select Manage Arrays.

2.From the List of Arrays, select the array you want to make bootable and press Ctrl+B.

3.Enter Y to create a bootable array when the following message is displayed: "This will make all other existing bootable array non-bootable. Do you want to make this array bootable? (Yes/No):" A bootable array will then be created. An asterisk will appear next to the bootable array (as shown in the picture below:)
