Status This is the state of the logical drive. It can be ready, missing (not
available after reset) or failed (for example, no longer available for the
controller).
Capacity The available capacity of array drives or host drives.
Attributes The attribute of a logical drive is usually read/write ([RW]). If a
component of a disk array is missing during startup and the operator
decides not to activate fail mode, the array is set to the read only attribute
([RO]). When the missing drive becomes available, the array drive
shows the ready status (for example, attribute [RW]).
Last Status The last status information of a logical drive. This is different from the
last status information of physical drives.
RAID 1 Component If the logical drive is a member of a RAID 1 array, it can be either master
or slave. If a RAID 1 component is added to a logical drive, the data is
read from the master and written to the added logical drive (the slave).
One master may have several slaves.
RAID 4/5 Component As a member of a RAID 4 or RAID 5 array a logical drive can be the
master or a component. Different from RAID 1 arrays, this is only
important for the internal structure of the array.
Change the Name of a Drive
Click the right mouse button on the drive icon. This menu option opens a dialog for entering a new
name for the selected drive (up to 7 characters).
Remove a Host Drive
Click the right mouse button on the host drive icon. By selecting this menu item you can delete a
host drive.
WARNING
When deleting a host drive, all other host drives which are part of the same array drive or logical
drive, the array drive or logical drive itself and all its components are deleted. ALL DATA WILL
BE LOST.
To prevent the operating system from crashing and to hinder the unintentional deletion of drives, all
partitions on the host drive (and its related host drives if it is split into several host drives) must be
deleted before the host drive can be removed.
