Hello Ed,

1, There are "create array", "delete array", "maintain array", "rebuild
array" and "hot spare" function with the raid card.
So, how to create the array with the two of HDs first correctly ?
2, Sorry, I don't quit understanding the point 1, for point 2, how to
run the cli of "tw_cli" ?
3, Is it auto to rebuild the array ? We need to config the method by the
key of "alt+3" ?

Edward.
