controller, then press Enter. Select Array Configuration Utility, then press Enter.

Follow the on-screen instructions to create and manage JBODs.

Creating a New JBOD

A JBOD disk appears as a physical disk drive to the operating system. A JBOD disk is not 
redundant and not bootable. 

To begin creating a JBOD, select Create JBOD from the main ACU menu. All the supported 
disk drives are displayed. Select a disk drive and Enter.

Managing Existing JBODs

To delete a JBOD or morph a JBOD into a simple volume, select Manage JBODs from the 
main ACU menu.

From the Manage JBODs menu, you can:

●

Morph a JBOD into a simple volume.

●

Delete a JBOD

Note: 

When you delete a JBOD, you lose all data on that disk.

Converting a JBOD Into a Simple Volume

You can convert any JBOD into a simple volume. 

1

Select Manage JBODs from the main ACU menu.

2

Select the JBOD that you want to morph into a simple volume and press Ctrl+V.

Using the ACU to Manage the maxCache Pool

Adaptec maxCache uses the compatible Solid State Drives (SSDs) in your system as fast cache 
memory for read-intensive operations. Before you can enable maxCache read caching on a 
logical device (see 

), you must assign at least one SSD to the maxCache pool.

Note: 

You can configure the maxCache pool only if you have one or more compatible Solid 

State Drives installed on the RAID controllers in your system. For a list of maxCache-compatible 
SSDs, refer to the Adaptec Web site at 

www.adaptec.com/compatibility

.

To add a SSD to the maxCache pool or to remove a SSD from the pool:

1

Start the ARC utility (see 

). If you have more than one controller, select your 

controller, then press Enter. Select Array Configuration Utility, then press Enter.
