Guided Configuration
Guided Configuration creates the best possible configuration on the controller after asking you a few simple questions. When the first screen appears, follow these steps to complete Guided Configuration:
- Select a Redundancy option:
- Redundancy Only: Create a configuration only if redundancy is possible (and if there are enough available disk drives, and so on).
- Redundancy when possible: Create a redundant configuration if possible. Otherwise, create a non-redundant configuration.
- No Redundancy: Create a non-redundant configuration.
- Choose whether you want to use existing arrays in the new virtual disk. The options are:
- Select a maximum number of virtual disks to be created.
- Click Next to continue to the next screen.
- On this screen, change the default volume parameters, if needed.
In the top section of the screen you can specify the number of virtual disks to create. You can also choose to use less than the full capacity of this array for the virtual disk(s). (You might want to do this in order to leave capacity available for other virtual disks that you create later. However, in some situations the remaining space might not be usable.) The volume options, such as Stripe Size, are explained in Manual Configuration- Click Next to continue to the next screen.
- Check the configuration that you have just defined. If it is acceptable, click Finish. If you want to change something, click Back to return to previous screens.
