Note: The selection sequence is important - the order in which the disks are selected will determine the disk sequence of the array.

7.Select the capacity - the RocketRAID 2220 can create multiple arrays on the same set of drives. As a result of this feature, you have the option of assigning a physical disk to multiple RAID arrays.

Press Enter to use the default value (the maximum capacity for the array), or specify the desired value using the keyboard, and press Enter to confirm this selection. Then, click the Finish button.

Note: If you have specified an initialization option, the initialization process will start automatically. A progress bar will be displayed towards the bottom of the interface window, and will indicate % completion, and provide an estimate of the time needed to complete the initialization procedure.

Single RAID –Cross Adapter

The term “Single RAID –Cross Adapter” refers to the RocketRAID 2220 ability to create RAID arrays between drives attached to multiple RocketRAID 2220 Adapters. Each RAID array can support up to 16 hard disks, and these disks can be attached to as many as 4 separate RocketRAID 2220 adapters. Cross-Adapter arrays are created in the same manner as standard arrays. The Creation menu will display disks attached to each RocketRAID 2220 adapter installed into the system.
