Field

Description

 

 

Identifier

The identifier of the volume

 

 

Type

The RAID type of the volume

 

 

Size (GB)

The coerced size of the volume

 

NOTE: To facilitate coercion on new larger disk drives, the disk size must

 

be coerced down with a factor of 128 MB. Additionally, to comply with the

 

latest Disk Data Format standard, 512 MB of space must be reserved for

 

RAID metadata on the drive. This results in several hundred MB of space

 

being removed from the usable size of an volume when it is created.

 

 

Status

The status of the volume

 

 

Manage

This option is used to create or delete global hot spares. Using this

Hotspares

option you can:

 

• Assign a hot spare, (RAID 1 and RAID 10 configurations only).

 

• Display each drive’s type, size and hot spare status.
