Understanding RAID concepts
Storage Management uses the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology to provide Storage Management capability.
Understanding Storage Management requires an understanding of RAID concepts, as well as some familiarity with how the RAID
controllers and operating system view disk space on your system.
