You can manually monitor and configure your HP Media Vault’s hard drives. (The terms hard drives and hard disks are used interchangeably.)

The Physical Disks section of the Disk Settings screen displays horizontal bar-graphs for each hard drive connected to your media vault. The graphs are color-coded representing available space on the disk drives, and the cross-hatched areas represent used hard disk space.

The media vault comes with one primary hard disk named SYSTEM, and one logical volume named Volume1. To store and access data on your media vault’s hard disk, you must assign logical volumes to the connected hard disks. The Logical Volumes section of the Disk Settings page contains a table that shows all volumes currently defined on the media vault’s hard drives. The volumes are color-coded to match their corresponding hard disks displayed in the horizontal bar graph(s) at the top of the screen.

Available hard disk space can be used to create more than one volume. (See Logical Volumes below.)
