The
Array_Mode parameter
defines the array-creation policy to use when selecting physical disk
drives to include in an array. Possible values are:
- Auto
- Creates arrays using drives that have the same size in MB, which
is the default. Each set of drives of the same size are combined into
a single array. The maximum number of drives allowed per array is
determined by the limits of the RAID controller. Only drives in a
Ready state after resetting the controller to factory-default settings
are used in arrays. Hot-spare drives are created based on the rules
supplied with the Array_Defaults parameter.
The Array_Defaults parameter allows you to
modify the default behavior of the AUTO mode for arrays.
- Custom
- Allows you to specify the physical disk drives to use in the array.
If you specify this value, you must specify the Array.letter parameter
with a list of drives for each array that you want to create. If you
want hot-spare drives to be created, you must use the Hotspares parameter
to list the hot-spare drives.
