7Review the information that is displayed.

Note: Adaptec Storage Manager uses the term logical drives when referring to arrays (see page 11).

In the following figure, Adaptec Storage Manager has used two equal-sized disk drives to automatically create one logical drive with RAID 1.

To specify a size for the logical drives, or to make other changes to the configuration, click Modify logical devices.

8Click Apply, then click Yes when prompted to confirm applying your new configuration. Adaptec Storage Manager builds the logical drive(s).

The configuration is saved on the Adaptec controller (as an “array,” see page 11) and on the physical disk drives.

9Partition and format your logical drive.

The logical drive you created appears as a physical disk drive on your operating system. You must partition and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data.

10Close all windows, then click Reboot to restart your system.

11Remove the HostRAID Installation CD.

For information on installing and using Adaptec Storage Manager as a full software application, refer to the online Help or the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide.

12Continue with Making Your Array Bootable (see next section).

Making Your Array Bootable

Use the ACU to make the array bootable (see Managing Bootable Arrays and Devices on page 56).

Then continue with Installing the Driver and an Operating System on page 29.
