Arrays
Array nodes include both RAID arrays and non-RAID disk groups that are indicated by the different icons
for RAID arrays and non-RAID disks. By default, a non-RAID disk group is created when a controller is
created. If the controller configuration specifies the number of disks required, the same number of disks
is added to the non-RAID group.
Arrays can be added, modified or deleted depending on the controller configuration and number of disks
available.
Array elements contain logical drives and physical disks.

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.
