Capacity (MB)

The values in this column reflect the total capacity in MB (megabytes) for that array.

Status

This column displays the state information for each array. Status definitions can be found at the beginning of Section 3.2.

Define Array Definition Menu

Selecting an Array # from the Define Array Menu brings up the Define Array Definition Menu screen (see Figure 10 below).

You must first assign the type of RAID Level you want. In the Definition Menu section, use the [Space] key to cycle through array types: RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 3 (Stripe Data + Parity), RAID 5 (Data/Parity Striping) or JBOD (Spanning). See Chapter 5 about RAID levels.

NOTE: Promise recommends the use of identical drives when creating a new array for best results.
