Creating a logical drive
To complete the process of configuring your storage solution, you need to
create one or more logical drives. During the creation process, you assign a LUN
to the logical drive to present the logical drive to the host operating system.
The RAID controller supports as many as 512 logical drives.
A logical drive is defined or created from regions of an array, a whole array, or
a combination of regions from different arrays that can be made available as a
single disk to one or more host systems. If you are creating a logical drive greater
than 2 TB, see your operating and file system documentation to make sure that
they support such sizes.
To reduce data fragmentation, you may want to avoid choosing combinations
of regions from different arrays to create your logical drive.
