When I run the system utility and configure the drives, I get 9 logical drive from the 9 physical drives. At that point I used Computer Management to span the drive to get larger volumes. Is this the way it is done?<BR />Dan Tue, 29 Oct 2002 01:00:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/smart-2sl-array-configuration/m-p/2834784#M12841 Dan Russoli 2002-10-29T01:00:57Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/smart-2sl-array-configuration/m-p/2834785#M12842 Hi Dan; <BR /><BR />You should be using the Array Configuration Utility on the SmartStart CD to configure the array. <BR /><BR />With the hard drives connected to the 2SL controller, boot the server off the SmartStart CD and run this utility.<BR /><BR />The default configuration on more than two drives creates a RAID5 set across the drives with one logical drive spanning them.<BR /><BR />Hope this helps,<BR /><BR />Janine Tue, 29 Oct 2002 14:08:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/smart-2sl-array-configuration/m-p/2834785#M12842 Janine Bertolo 2002-10-29T14:08:44Z
