Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition

Logical Devices

As described earlier, when Adaptec Storage Manager loads, the

Logical Devices view is expanded and you can see the arrays

present on the controller.

At the top of this view are the following buttons: Create, Modify,

and Delete. Each button opens a wizard that will take you through,

respectively, the steps necessary to create a new array, modify an

existing array, and delete existing arrays on this controller.

Modify allows you to:

■ Change an array from one RAID level to another

■ Expand an array

■ Change the stripe size for a RAID-0, 5, 10 or 50

For detailed instructions on using these buttons, see the sections

Creating Arrays on page 3-12, Deleting Arrays on page 3-17, and

Modifying Arrays on page 3-17.

The main area of the Logical Devices view is used to display the

arrays on this controller. It defaults to a condensed view of top

level arrays. For information on top and second-level arrays, refer

to Supported RAID Types on page 1-2.

Note: The Options button allows you to display second-level

arrays if you prefer.

In this condensed view, the RAID level of each device as well as

whether it is protected by a hot spare, is visible.

If a global hot spare exists, all arrays that the hot spare is large

enough to protect will show as protected.

In the expanded view, the icons for the arrays are arranged

vertically and alongside them are the capacity, name and type of

array.

Selecting an array by clicking on it will highlight the following in

amber:

■ All the drives or segments that form the array in the Physical

Devices view.
