Remove (a Host Drive)

Click the right mouse button on the host drive icon. By selecting this menu item you can
delete a host drive.
Warning: When deleting a host drive, all other host drives which are part of the same array
drive or logical drive, the array drive or logical drive itself and all its components
are deleted. ALL DATA WILL BE LOST.
To prevent the operating system from crashing and to hinder the unintentional deletion of
drives, all partitions on the host drive (and its related host drives if it is split into several
host drives) must be deleted before the host drive can be removed.

Create New (Host Drive)

Double click on the new host drive icon.
Only host drives are "visible" to the operating system. The underlying structure of the host
drives is not known to the operating system. The operating system does not recognize that
a given host drive consists of a number of hard disks forming a disk array. To the
operating system this host drive simply appears as one single hard disk with the capacity
of the disk array. This complete transparency represents the easiest way to operate disk
arrays under any operating system. Neither the operating system nor the computer need to
be involved in the administration of these complex disk array configurations. To create a
new host drive, you need one or more physical drives which are not yet part of another
host drive. After double clicking on the new host drive icon, the New Host Drive window
opens. See

Figure 11-138). You can view and configure the Drive Type, Write Back, and
