Creating an Array with the ACU The ACU is menu-based and instructions for completing tasks display on-screen. Menus can be navigated using the arrows, Enter, Esc, and other keys on your keyboard. Before creating arrays, make sure the disks for the array are connected and installed in your system. Disks with no usable space are shown in gray and cannot be used. See Physical Devices View on page 46. To create an array: 1 Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility. 2 From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility (ACU). 3 From the ACU Main menu, select Create Array. 4 Select the disks for the new array. RAID 0 and 1 requires a minimum of two disk drives. RAID 10 requires a minimum of four disk drives. Then press Insert. To deselect any disk, highlight the disk, then press Delete. 5 Press Enter when all disks for the new array are selected. The Array Properties menu displays. For Array Property Information see Assigning Array Properties on page 63 6 When you are finished, press Done. Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array . 30 Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array . 30 This section describes how to use the Adaptec Storage Manager configuration wizard to build a RAID 0, 1, or 10 array. Note: You will need the HostRAID Installation CD to complete this task. To create a RAID 0, 1, or 10 array: 1 Insert the HostRAID Installation CD into your CD drive, then restart your computer. 2 When prompted, select the language you want, then press Enter. 3 Review the license information, then press Enter. The Main Menu opens. 4 Click Launch Configuration Utility. Adaptec Storage Manager opens. 5 Click Create. The Configuration wizard opens. 6 Select Express configuration..., then click Next. Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array . 31 Chapter 6: Creating a Bootable Array . 31 Note: Adaptec Storage Manager uses the term logical drives when referring to arrays (see page 11). In the following figure, Adaptec Storage Manager has used two equal-sized disk drives to automatically create one logical drive with RAID 1. To specify a size for the logical drives, or to make other changes to the configuration, click Modify logical devices. 8 Click Apply, then click Yes when prompted to confirm applying your new configuration. Adaptec Storage Manager builds the logical drive(s). The configuration is saved on the Adaptec controller (as an “array,” see page 11) and on the physical disk drives. 9 Partition and format your logical drive. The logical drive you created appears as a physical disk drive on your operating system. You must partition and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data. 10 Close all windows, then click Reboot to restart your system. 11 Remove the HostRAID Installation CD. For information on installing and using Adaptec Storage Manager as a full software application, refer to the online Help or the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide. 12 Continue with Making Your Array Bootable (see next section). Making Your Array Bootable Use the ACU to make the array bootable (see Managing Bootable Arrays and Devices on page 67). Then continue with Installing the Driver and an Operating System on page 32.

Install and connect your HostRAID controller and internal disk drives (see page 23). . Create a bootable array (see page 28). . Create a driver disk (see next section). Creating a Driver Disk Before you install your driver, you will need to create a driver disk. You will need a floppy disk to complete this task. To create a driver disk: 1 Set your system BIOS so that your computer boots from the CD drive. (For instructions, refer to your computer’s documentation.) 2 Click Create Driv...
