Logical Drive List

The Logical Drive Summary is a list of all logical drives in the VTrak enclosure. This function lists all of the logical drives together, without the need to navigate through multiple disk arrays. The information here is exactly the same as shown under the disk arrays.

To see the logical drives under a Logical Drive Summary:

1.Click on the Subsystem icon in Tree View.

2.Click on the VTrak icon.

3.Click on the Logical Drive Summary icon.

Logical Drive Parameters

Device ID – The unique ID number for each logical drive.

Alias – A user-specified name for the logical drive. If the logical drive was created at the same time as its disk array, it will have the same alias.

RAID Level – The RAID of the logical drive. If the logical drive was created at the same time as its disk array, it will have the same RAID level

Disk Array ID – The disk array ID number to which this logical drive belongs.

Stripe – The stipe block size of this logical drive specified at its creation.

Status – The operating condition of a logical drive.

OK / Functional – This is the normal state of a logical drive. When a logical drive is OK / Functional, it is ready for immediate use. For RAID Levels other than RAID 0 (Striping), the logical drive has full redundancy.

Synchronizing – This condition is temporary. Synchronizing is a maintenance function that verifies the integrity of data and redundancy in the logical drive. When an logical drive is Synchronizing, it will function and your data is available. However, access will be slower due to the synchronizing operation.

Rebuilding – This condition is temporary. When a physical drive has been replaced, the logical drive automatically begins rebuilding in order to restore redundancy (fault tolerance). When a logical drive is rebuilding, it will function and your data is available. However, access will be slower due to the rebuilding operation.
