Auto Setup Configuration
This section of the Auto Setup Menu contains four fields:
Mode
Items in this field correspond to the selections found in the “Optimize Array For” field in the Auto Setup Menu sec tion (see table on page 19).
Spare Drive
Auto setup does not allow configuring a hot spare drive. If you wish to have a spare drive, you must use the View/Define Array Menu (see page 22) and manually assign the exact number of drives you want included. Any attached drive not configured in a fault tolerant array will be recognized as a spare drive and will be automatically added to the array when a failed drive is detected. An automatic data rebuild will be performed to restore fault tolerance as quickly as possible. At a later time, the failed drive can be physically removed and an extra drive added in its place to function as the new spare drive.
Drive(s) Used In Array
This field displays the number of drives used in the array. This does not include the spare drive(s).
Array Disk Capacity
This field displays the capacity available in the entire array in MB (megabytes), not counting spare drives.
