   C:\> asmca
   

   ASMCA opens at the Disk Groups tab.

   1. In the Disk Group Name field, enter a descriptive name for the fast recovery area disk group, for example, FRA.
   2. In the Redundancy section, select the level of redundancy you want to use.
   3. In the Select Member Disks field, select eligible disks to be added to the fast recovery area.
   The Diskgroup Creation window opens to inform you when disk group creation is complete.
4. Click OK to acknowledge the message, then click Exit to quit the application.
