Disk arrays and logical drives
Disk arrays and logical drives are created and managed using the Disk Arrays menu.
Use the Array Configuration menu to view the Disk Array List, and to create and
delete disk arrays on the enclosure. Expand the Disk Arrays icon in Tree View to
view menu links for existing arrays. Each array icon can be expanded again to see
the Logical Drives icon, and this can be expanded to see each logical drive icon.
Use the top-level Disk Arrays menu to view the Disk Array List, to delete existing
arrays, and to create new disk arrays using the Automatic, Express, or Advanced
disk array creation menus. Note that there must be physical drives available in order
to use any of the disk array creation menus.
View information for existing disk arrays by clicking on the icon in Tree View or the
array name in the Disk Array List. Each individual array menu is used to create and
delete logical drives, to change settings (Alias and enable/ disable PDM, Media
Patrol and Power Management) for the array, or to start Background Activities
including PDM, Rebuild and Transition.
