Logical Drives also known as Virtual Disks
Logical drives can be present on RAID arrays and non-RAID groups. You can configure them by specifying the size (in
GB) or consume all available (or remaining) space in the array. By default, a single logical drive is created for all new
arrays and is set to use all the available space.
When specific-size logical drives are defined, the using all remaining space logical drive will consume any remaining
space after other logical drive(s) have allocated their space on the array.
NOTE: Array Builder does not support creating logical drives of sizes 10, 50, and 60 GB, and does not support
creating logical drives under Non-RAID groups.

Disks (Array Disks)
Disks can be part of arrays (or the non-RAID disks node) and are of the following types:
• Standard disks — These are the basic, non-defined disk type that make up the storage on arrays.
• Hot Spares — These disks provide online redundancy if a RAID disk fails while assigned to a specific array.
• All Remaining Disks — These disks provide an option to define an array without specifying the exact number of
disks.
If the controller configuration specifies the number of disks required, an equivalent number of disks are added to the
non-RAID group. If the controller specifies the exact quantity, disks cannot be added or removed from the controller –
