Using View/Add Configuration

View/Add Configuration allows you to associate logical drives with physical arrays (this is called spanning of arrays.) The existing configuration is left intact, so you can also use View/Add Configuration simply to look at the current configuration. Perform the following steps to configure the arrays using View/Add Configuration.

1Choose Configure from the Management Menu. The Configure menu options display.

2Choose Configure—>View/Add Configuration.

An array selection window displays the devices connected to the current controller.

Hot key information appears at the bottom of the screen. The hot key functions are:

<F2> Display the manufacturer data and PERC 3 error count for the selected drive.

<F3> Display the logical drives that have been configured.

<F4> Designate the selected drive as a hot spare.

<F10> Display the logical drive configuration screen.
