Viewing Drive Assignments

From the Main Menu screen, press 1 to see the View Drive Assignments screen.
The View Drive Assignments screen reports physical (disk) drive assignments and
provides the following information:
Channel: ID – Shows the FastTrak Controller channel (port) ID number to which
each physical drive is attached.
Drive Model – Identifies the manufacturer, model, and model number (if applicable)
of each physical drive.
Capabilities – Refers to the type of physical drive, SAS or SATA, and the drive's
data rate in Gb/s.
Capacity (MB) – Reflects the capacity in MB (megabytes) of the physical drive.
The effective capacity of the physical drive is slightly smaller than its maximum
rated capacity.
Assignment – This field identifies the logical drive to which the physical drive
belongs. LD 1-2 means logical drive 1, physical drive 2. JBOD also appears as LD
on this screen.
Unassigned physical drives are labeled Free. Unassigned drives may also be used
to create a new logical drive at any time.
Extent – Refers to the all or part of the physical drive's capacity allocated to a
logical drive. If you create two logical drives using the same set of physical drives,
each physical drive will display two Extents.
