In DAS environments, ICP Storage Manager uses the term
logical drives

automatically create one logical drive with RAID 5 and a hot spare.
To exclude specific disk drives from the logical drive, specify a size for the logical drive, or
to make other changes to the configuration, click
Modify logical devices

physical disk drives.
