Managing an Existing Array

You can manage an existing array in the following ways:

•Making a bootable array

•Displaying array information

•Deleting an array

•Initializing an array

•Adding or deleting a spare disks

Making the Array Bootable

Follow these steps if you want your computer to boot from the newly created array or if you want to change the boot order of existing arrays:

	1	Select Display Boot Order from the Main Menu. The Boot Order for
		Singles and Arrays window appears.
	2	If the newly created array is listed as Unit 0 at the top of the list, no
		changes are necessary; if it has some other unit number, highlight
		the array name and press		to select it.
	3	Use the arrow keys to move the selected array to the top of the list.
		Then press	to deselect it.
	4	When you are finished, press		to return to the Main Menu.
NOTE	You cannot use this procedure to change the boot order of a non-striped
	SCSI disk drive (see the “Resolving Problems” on page 134 for notes on
	booting from the Narrow SCSI BIOS). If you want to do this, create a
	one-drive RAID 0 “array” from the disk.

Displaying Array Information

Follow these steps to display information about existing arrays defined in your computer:

1 Select Disk Array Operations from the Custom Setup Main Menu.

2 Select Display Arrays from the Disk Array Operations menu.
