The tool bar at the top of the Logical Configuration View window,
shown in Figures 3-4 and 3-5, contains the following buttons:
You can use the Logical Configuration View window to create any
combination of RAID level 0, 1, or 5 disk arrays. RAID 0 arrays can
be any combination of individual drives. RAID 1 arrays are
comprised of multiple pairs of drives. RAID 5 arrays contain three
or more drives.
One or more arrays of the same RAID level can be combined into a
multilevel RAID, such as:
■ RAID 0/1 for multiple RAID 1 arrays
■ RAID 0/5 for multiple RAID 5 arrays
The drives in a multilevel RAID appear as a single LSU to the host
computer.
