To locate a disk array in the enclosure, click the Locate DAx button. The disk status LEDs will blink for one minute to identify the carriers holding the physical drives used by the disk array.

Creating a Disk Array

WebPAM PRO provides three methods of creating a disk array:

•Automatic – Creates a default disk array and logical drive based on unconfigured physical drives in the system. No user choices. See “Creating a Disk Array – Automatic Configuration” on page 129.

•Express – You choose the RAID characteristics and type of application. Creates a disk array and logical drive(s) based on your input. See “Creating a Disk Array – Express Configuration” on page 130.

•Advanced – You specify all parameters for a new disk array. One logical drive will be made automatically when you create the disk array. If you specify less than the total available capacity, you can use the remaining space to create additional logical drives now or at a later time. See “Creating a Disk Array – Advanced Configuration” on page 132.
