Managing Logical Disks

NOTE:

To best utilize the space of all drives in the pool, make sure the sizes of all drives are the

same. If the logical disk is striped across multiple drives, the subsystem might only use the size of the

smallest drive and ignore the bigger space on other drives.

NOTE:

If you choose to create a storage pool with fewer than three drives, a message box informs

you that a pool with fewer than three drives does not support fault-tolerant capacity optimized (RAID

5) and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes to continue or No to return to the Create Storage Pool

dialog box to change your selection.

box to create another storage pool. If you select this check box, the Create Storage Pool dialog box
