8.3 Creating and Deleting Logical
Volumes
You can create and delete logical volumes using Altos RAIDWatch Manager. Logical volumes are
created by combining logical drives together. You can combine logical drives with different
capacities and RAID levels into a single logical volume. You can also delete existing logical volumes.
Before deleting, make certain that the data stored in the logical volume is no longer needed.
Deleting a logical volume erases all information stored on that logical volume.
Note
When you delete a logical volume, all logical drives assigned to it will be released, making them
available for new logical volume creation.
