Figure 6-18. Create Logical Drive screen
The Logical Drive Size area shows a scale marked with the amount of drive
capacity available for a logical drive. The utility does not allow you to create a
logical drive larger than the maximum supported by the operating system.
The purple (left) band on the scale indicates the fraction of the total that is
available for data. The red (right) band indicates the fraction required for storing
the parity or mirrored information depending on the fault tolerance method
used. The red (right) band is only needed for RAID 1, RAID 4, or RAID 5.
This screen is first displayed showing the maximum-sized logical drive that can
be created for your drive array. You can reduce this amount if you want to
create more than one logical drive on the array. To reduce the sizetype the
number in or drag the pointer to the left. Fine-tune the size with the arrow
buttons to the left of the scale.,
