Since no array exists, you need to "create array". Since you only have a 2 port card your only choices will be RAID 0 or RAID 1. Since you seem to want a mirror you should select RAID 1. > 2, Sorry, I don't quit understanding the point 1, for point 2, how to > run the cli of "tw_cli" ? The documents for your card should be on the CD that came with it. If you don't have the CD then you should go to: http://www.3ware.com/support/userdocs.asp The cli (command line interface) "tw_cli" is also on your CD and needs to be compiled and installed. > 3, Is it auto to rebuild the array ?

Since this is not Fedora related it may be best to take this off-list. Feel free to contact me directly. Ed
