This logical block contains the logical drive parameters, which include the RAID mode (RAID0 = stripe; RAID1=mirror), the size of the stripes, number of stripes, and number of physical drives in the array. This block starts with the keyword LOGICAL_ARRAY and must be organized as follows:

LOGICAL_ARRAY

:<Array Number>

RAID_MODE

:<STRIPE/MIRROR>

STRIPE_SIZE

:<STRIPE SIZE>

TOTAL_STRIPES

:<Number of Stripes>

TOTAL_PHYSICAL_DRIVES

:<Number of Physical Drives in Array>

5.4.3Physical Drive Information

This logical block contains the physical drive number, drive ID, and drive size. It starts with the keyword PHYSICAL_DRIVE and must be organized as follows:

PHYSICAL_DRIVE

:<Drive Number>

DRIVE_ID

:<Drive ID>

DRIVE_SIZE

:<Drive Size>

The logical blocks can be separated by blank lines. There can be any number of blank lines. The lines within the logical block must be consecutive. Blank lines are not allowed within the logical block. There are as many PHYSICAL DRIVE INFO blocks as the number of drives participating in the array. All the PHYSICAL DRIVE INFO blocks for a logical array must follow the LOGICAL ARRAY INFO block before the start of next LOGICAL ARRAY INFO block. SPARE ARRAY information cannot be included in the configuration file.
