Each ServeRAID controller supports a maximum of 8 logical drives.
Note: You can define up to eight logical drives for your array. If you plan to migrate a logical drive, do not define more than seven logical drives. Migrating a logical drive requires one free logical drive.
Notes: Typically, the first logical drive that you define will be your startup (boot) drive.
If you plan to use Change RAID level, you must assign the same RAID level to all logical drives within a single disk array. Refer to Changing the RAID level for more information.
- Use the edit field to define the size.
- Use the slider to define the total size as a percent of the total array capacity.
Notes:
If you already defined other logical drives for this array, the pie chart shows the existing logical drive sizes and the amount of free space available.
The actual logical drive size may be slightly different from what you select. The RAID level and the number of hard disk drives determine the size of the logical drive. For example, a disk array consisting of three, 1 GB hard disk drives with a requested RAID level-0 logical drive of 1000 MB will actually contain only 999 MB because the data is striped across all three drives, with 333 MB on each drive.
