Create the RAID Set under RaidSet Functions by selecting all of the drives.

Create multiple Volume Sets under the VolumeSet Functions

Select the desired Volume Raid Level

Set the Select Volume Capacity to 2199GB

Set Greater Two TB Volume Support to No

Set Volume Initialization Mode to No Init (if applicable)*

Check the Confirm the Operation box

Click Submit

Repeat this step until all of the space are assigned.

* By setting the Volume Initialization Mode to No Init will result in immediate

availability of the RAID set, no need to wait for long initialization time.

To view and confirm the Volume settings, select Information > RaidSet Hierarchy.

In Windows Disk Management, make these volumes as Dynamic Disks and span

them together to make one large disk. Spanning is recommend as oppose to

striping. Striping in this configuration requires more system overhead and will

actually reduce performance. Use Spanning.
