matches the actual configuration. This is done by selecting view and edit SCSI drives from the main menu as shown in Figure 4-12.

Figure 4-12 Verifying Drive Configuration

The controller displays six drives. Use the arrow keys to scroll down if necessary. The information reported by the VOYAGER 3000 includes the Vendor and Product ID of the drives as well as their capacity and RAID controller status. The example in Figure 4-12 shows six drives connected to the two target buses. Each target bus is identified by its channel number as shown in the second column of Figure 4-12.

In our example there are six Seagate drives of 4095 MB capacity. We will create a RAID level five set on the three drives connected to channel zero and we will create a RAID level one set on drives 0 and 1 of channel one. In addition we will create a Global Standby disk on drive 2 of channel 1. Enter the View and edit Logical Drives option from the main menu as shown in Figure 4-13.
