Logical Drives Tab (New Configuration)

The Logical Drives tab in Manual Configuration is where you configure the disk
arrays into logical drives. Your first logical drive will set the stripe size and cache
line size for all logical drives on this controller. See Figure 4-42.

Figure 4-42. Manual Configuration - Logical Drives

To configure the Logical Drives, perform the following steps:

1. Select a RAID level for the first logical drive.

Supported RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID
0+1, and stand-alone drive (JBOD).

Only RAID levels compatible with the current configuration will be
available in the list.

2. Enter the amount of available logical or physical capacity for this logical

drive.

If the total configuration will have only one logical drive, which uses all
available capacity, the default sizes should not be changed.

3. If you intend to create additional logical drives now or later, enter a smaller

number to reserve the desired amount of capacity.
