WARNING
To prevent data loss, do not accept the new configuration,
unless you have backed-up all data on the disk drives. When
applying a new configuration to the disk array, all data will be
lost on the newly configured drives.
3. Type Yes and click OK if you are sure you want to apply the new
configuration and overwrite the old.
NOTE
In Automatic Configuration, the Add Logical Drive functions
similarly to the New Configuration option. In each case RAID
Assistant prepares an optimal configuration without user input
based on characteristics of the available devices.

Assisted Configuration

The Assisted Configuration mode provides two options:
New Configuration - Sets up a new configuration on the controller,
deleting the previous configuration and data (if any).
Add Logical Drive - Sets up additional arrays (logical drives) leaving the
existing array(s) intact. At least one array must be configured on this
controller and un-configured drive space must remain.
For example, try the New Configuration as shown in Figure 4-32.
