NOTE:
•
A "Logical Drive" is a set of drives grouped together to operate under a
given RAID level and it appears as a single contiguous volume. The
controller is capable of grouping drives into as many as 128 logical
drives, configured in the same or different RAID levels.
•
A total of 32 "Logical Volumes" can be created each from one or several
logical drives. A logical drive or logical volume can be divided into a
maximum of 64 "Partitions."
5. The next step is to make logical drives or storage partitions
available through the host ports. When associated with a host
ID or LUN number, each capacity volume appears as one
system drive. The host SCSI or Fibre adapter will recognize the
system drives after the host bus is re-initialized.
6. The last step is to save your configuration profile in the host
system drive or to the logical drives you created.
The controller is totally independent from host operating system.
Host operating system will not be able to tell whether the attached
storage is a physical hard drive or the virtual system drives created
by the RAID controller.
