4 Technical Information

Using the ArrayConfig Program

Select Low-Level Format only if the drives were previously formatted on another system or if you are using drives other than new HP accessory drives (where there’s a possibility of surface defects). Low-level formatting takes a long time for large disk drives. (Refer to the section “Initializing an Array” on page 130 for more information.)

12When the menu of block sizes appears, select a block size. (This menu does not appear for RAID 1 arrays.)

The default block size (64 KBytes) gives the best overall performance. The allowable block sizes are 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 KBytes.

13When you see the message Initialization of [array name] is complete, press any key to return to the Disk Array Operations menu.

14To create additional arrays (if disks are available), return to Step 5. When all arrays are created, exit from ArrayConfig, remove the ArrayConfig diskette, and reboot the computer. After you reboot you can write data to the arrays.

15Press until you’re back at the Main Menu, and exit ArrayConfig.

16Begin the installation of Windows NT 4.0 by booting from the floppy diskettes you made before creating your array.

NOTE

Do not boot from the Windows NT CD-ROM as the hard drive will not be

 

detected.

 

 

17 When prompted, insert your drivers diskette into drive A and

 

 

press

. When the driver has finished loading, you can

continue with the Windows NT installation. For more information, refer to your operating system’s documentation on your Drivers CD-ROM.
