Caution:
A warning appears if you select a disk that has par-
titions.
Do not
select a partitioned disk if it contains data you
want to keep, because any existing data will be erased when
the disk becomes part of an array.
When you have selected the number of drives you specified in
Step 8, the next screen appears automatically. If you are creat-
ing a RAID 1, RAID 0/1, or RAID 5 array, and if there are any
unassigned drives, the screen prompts you to define dedicated
spare drives for the array. (We recommend that you use a
spare
pool
instead of dedicated spares.)
Caution:
A spare must have at least the capacity of the small-
est drive in the array.
