Step 5. Configuration Storage Subsystem

This step has multiple options. The Automatic (Simple) option is the quickest and easiest, but provides the least amount of control over the configuration. The Manual (Advanced) option, which still provides some automated assistance, provides more control over the configuration and will be preferred in nearly every situation. This scenario will cover the automatic option. The Manual (Advanced) option, Create Logical Drives, will be covered in Scenario 2.

Automatic (Simple)

Expand the Automatic (Simple) option under Configure the Storage Subsystem and select Step 1: Automatic Configuration. This will bring you to the Automatic Configuration window where you will simply choose a RAID level and click Finish. Storage Manager will then configure the entire subsystem into multiple arrays based on the selected RAID level and create a single logical drive within each array.

Note: Users that wish to define the number of drives in each array, and the number and size of the logical drives in each array, should use the “Create Logical Drives” option.
