Figure 10-36 The Definition method panel

From the Definition method panel, if you choose Create arrays automatically, the system will automatically take all the space from the array site and place it into an array. Physical disks from any array site could be placed, through a predetermined algorithm, into the array. It is at this point that you create the RAID-5 or RAID-10 format and striping in the array being created.

If you choose to create arrays automatically, the screen will advance to the Array configuration (Auto) panel shown in Figure 10-37.
