5.The next step is to make logical drives or storage partitions available through the host ports. When associated with a host ID or LUN number, each capacity volume appears as one system drive. The host SCSI or Fibre adapter will recognize the system drives after the host bus is re-initialized.

NOTE:

A "Logical Drive" is a set of drives grouped together to operate under a given RAID level and it appears as a single contiguous volume. The controller is capable of grouping drives into as many as 128 logical drives, configured in the same or different RAID levels.

A total of 32 "Logical Volumes" can be created each from one or several logical drives. A logical drive or logical volume can be divided into a maximum of 64 "Partitions."

5.The next step is to make logical drives or storage partitions available through the host ports. When associated with a host ID or LUN number, each capacity volume appears as one system drive. The host SCSI or Fibre adapter will recognize the system drives after the host bus is re-initialized.

6.The last step is to save your configuration profile in the host system drive or to the logical drives you created.

The controller is totally independent from host operating system. Host operating system will not be able to tell whether the attached storage is a physical hard drive or the virtual system drives created by the RAID controller.
