This screen enables you to select which disks will be used to create the virtual disk. The items displayed on this screen depend on the selections you made in Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard (Step 1 of 4).
|
Note: For a controller that has more than one channel, it may be possible to configure a virtual disk that is channel-redundant. See Channel Redundancy and Thermal Shutdown for more information. |
Depending on the RAID level you selected and the virtual disk size, this screen displays the disks and channels available for configuring the virtual disk.
The following is an example of what might be displayed:
The Channel section of the screen displays the controller's channels and the disks attached to each channel. Select the disks to be included in the virtual disk. In this example, the controller has a single channel with five disks.
The Array Disks Selected section of the screen displays the disks you have chosen. In this example, two disks are selected.
Each RAID level has specific requirements for the number of disks that must be selected. RAID 10 and 50 also have requirements for how many disks are included in each stripe or span. If you click Continue before you have made the proper selection, a pop-up message displays additional information for correcting your choice.
Click Continue when you have completed the disk selection. If you wish to cancel the virtual disk, click Exit Wizard. If you wish to return to the previous screen and change your selections, click Go Back To Previous Page.
