▼ To Create a New Array With the ACU
Note – You can create an array with the ACU and the Sun StorageTek RAID
Manager GUI. However, it is a much quicker process to create an array through the
GUI than through the ACU. Creating an array with the ACU might take two to three
times longer than creating an array with the GUI. For more information, see the Sun
StorageTek RAID Manager Software User’s Guide.
1. Select Create Arrays from the main ACU menu.
Only disk drives that can be used in a new array are available for selection. (Disk
drives must be initialized before they can be used in an array. See “To Initialize
Disk Drives With the ACU” on page 51 for more information.)
2. Use the Array Properties menu to modify the RAID level, size, name, stripe
size, and caching settings of the array.
Note – Creating a new array might change the BIOS boot order. Check the BIOS
settings to verify the correct boot order.
