4 Using Advanced Features of

RAID Admin

The advanced features of RAID Admin give you several

options as you work with RAID arrays.

With RAID Admin’s advanced features you can:

• Subdivide arrays into as many as six “slices”

• Merge multiple slices into one slice

• Expand array capacity by adding drives

• Verify or rebuild parity in a protected RAID array (RAID 3 and 5)

• Specify which arrays are visible on host systems (LUN masking)

Slicing an Array

You can subdivide a RAID array into segments, or slices. These slices are effectively

hardware partitions of all drives on the array. Each slice is a separate LUN and appears

as a separate volume on a host computer.
