2.For this example, select RAID 1 - Mirrorset, then, in the Set Name box, supply (enter) a name for the Mirrorset. For our example, the name is “ Mirr1”. Click on OK when fin- ished.

The RAID Manager responds by displaying a message window advising you to click on at least two disks (in our physical view) to use for the Mirrorset.

3.Select the disks to use for the Mirrorset. In our example, we select (click on) the three remaining disks in the bottom row of the enclosure. When finished, click on Create in the message window.

The RAID Manager responds by updating the physical view (see Figure 3–8). The physi- cal view now shows the three Mirrorset disks superimposed with the letter “ 1,” to indi- cate RAID 1 - Mirrorset. Note also that the status bar at the bottom of the window has

been updated to reflect the added component.
