Creating Logical Drives

maxView Storage Manager has a wizard to help you create, or congure, the logical drives in your storage

space. You can choose from two conguration methods, depending on your needs:

• Express conguration—Automatically creates logical drives by grouping together same-sized physical

drives, and assigns RAID levels based on the number of physical disk drives in the logical drive.

Use the express method when you want to use all available disk drives in the most efcient manner.

For instructions, see Express Conguration on page 38.

• Custom conguration—Helps you group disk drives, set RAID levels, determine logical drive size,

and congure advanced settings manually.

Use the custom method when you want to create specic logical drives with any or all available disk

drives and SSDs (Solid State Drives). For instructions, see Custom Conguration on page 40

Note: We recommend that you do not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the

same logical drive. maxView Storage Manager displays a warning if you try to create

a logical drive using a combination of SAS and SATA disk drives.

Express Conguration

When you use Express conguration, maxView Storage Manager automatically creates logical drives by

grouping together same-sized physical drives, and assigns RAID levels based on the number of physical

drives in a logical drive:

• A logical drive with three or more physical drives is assigned RAID 5.

• A logical drive with two physical drives is assigned RAID 1.

• A logical drive with only a single physical drive becomes a simple volume, which does not offer

redundancy.

To create a logical drive with any other RAID level, you must use the custom method, as described on

Custom Conguration on page 40. See Selecting the Best RAID Level on page 112 for more information

about RAID levels.

With Express conguration, maxView Storage Manager uses all available disk drive space to maximize

the capacity of the logical drives.

To build your storage space with the Express method:

1. In the Enterprise View, select a system, then select a controller on that system.

2. On the ribbon, in the Logical Disk group, click Create Logical Drive.

3. When the wizard opens, ensure that Express Conguration is selected, then click Next.
