operating system.
• Spanning more than 14 disks with a RAID 5 volume is not recommended.
• Designate spares for R AID sets to provide greater protection against failures.
• R AID sets cannot span controllers.
• A single array can contain multiple logical drives of varying RAID settings.
• Extending and expanding arrays and logical drives is supported.
