Creating spanned
arrays
If you want to assign RAID level-x0 to an array,
you must create a spanned array.
Note: Spanned arrays are supported only by IBM ServeRAID-4 Ultra160, ServeRAID-5i Ultra320,
ServeRAID-6M Ultra320, and ServeRAID-6i/6i+ Ultra320 SCSI controllers.
Complete the following steps to create one or more identical spanned arrays:
- Start the custom configuration wizard and complete all previous steps.
- In the list of arrays, click the arrays that you want to add to your spanned
array.

- Click
>>
(Add selected arrays) to add the arrays to the spanned array. You can
click
>>
(Add all arrays) to move all arrays to the spanned array.
- To create additional spanned arrays, click the New spanned array
tab in the right pane.
Then, repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Click Next; the "Create logical drives"
window opens.
To return to the "Create arrays" window,
click Back.
To leave the Configuration wizard, click Cancel.
