Creating A Logical Drive Using Available Space - Adaptec RAID 3085 User Manual

Creating a Logical Drive Using Available Space

Free segments on a disk drive can be used to create a new logical drive. (A segment can only be
used in one logical drive at a time.)
To create a logical drive using free segments on disk drives:
1
Complete Steps 1 through
2
In the Physical Devices panel, select the disk drives and/or free disk drive segments you
want to use in the logical drive.
Note:
Adaptec recommends that you not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the same
logical drive. Adaptec Storage Manager generates a warning if you try to create a logical drive
using a combination of SAS and SATA disk drives.
In this example, two free disk drive segments (indicated in blue) are used to create a RAID 1
logical drive.
