DeviceMenuCommands

Create Spare and Delete Spare

This command displays a dialog box to let the user create or delete a spare drive. This feature is not used with the SATA II PCIe RAID.

Delete Member

This command displays a dialog box to let the user choose RAID groups' members to delete. Since RAID 0 is not fault-tolerant, RAID 0 members will not be shown in the list.

Delete Orphan

An orphan device segment is part of a RAID group that cannot access another device segment within the same RAID group. When a member of a RAID group fails (such as a loss of power or a complete hard disk failure), it becomes an orphan. This command displays the Delete Orphan Segment window to show all orphan segments and allows the user to delete selected orphan segments.

Device Summary

This command displays the Segment Summary window to show all physical devices' segments.
