8. Click the appropriate Array tab.
9. Select a RAID level from the drop-down list. (For more information, see
“Supported RAID levels” on page 22.)
Notes:
a. RAID level-5E allows only one logical drive per array.
b. If you are configuring a spanned array, you can set the RAID level only for
the first logical drive you create.
10. If you do not want to use the maximum size for the logical drive, type the size
in the Data (MB) field.
Notes:
a. You can define up to eight logical drives per controller. There are two
exceptions:
v If an array contains a logical drive assigned RAID level-5E
v If you want to use the logical-drive migration feature
In these cases, one logical drive slot must be left free; therefore, you
cannot define more than seven logical drives.
b. Some operating systems have size limitations for logical drives. Before you
save the configuration, verify that the size of the logical drive is appropriate
for your operating system.
c. A logical drive cannot exceed 2048 GB.
d. Typically, the first logical drive defined on the first ServeRAID controller
found by system BIOS during startup will be your startup (boot) drive.
11. If you have free space available and want to create additional logical drives,
click Create new logical drive .
