for more information about controller settings.
4.6.3 Using the Logical View
Logical View is where you perform management on the logical drives and logical volumes of the
disk array system. Logical drives (LDs) are combinations of physical drives, which are used to create
logical volumes (LVs). These volumes (or their partitions) can then be mapped to various host LUNs.
A sub-function of the RAID View window, Logical View allows you to create, expand, and delete
existing LDs and LVs. It uses unique colors to distinguish between logical drives. When a physical
drive within a logical drive fails, the system notifies you by darkening the color of the affected
logical drive. The logical drive will remain in this state until either a spare is detected and an
automatic rebuild is started, or the drive is replaced and a rebuild is manually initiated.
After a rebuild is complete, the logical drive will display its normal color, signifying an on-line
condition.
To display the Logical View, you can either click on the Logical View button in the RAID View
Introduction or select the Logical View icon in the navigation panel of the RAID View window.
