This is different from the last status information of physical drives. If the logical drive is a member of a RAID 1 array, it can be either master or slave. If a RAID 1 component is added to a logical drive, the data is read from the master and written to the added logical drive (the slave). One master may have several slaves. As a member of a RAID 4 or RAID 5 array a logical drive can be the master or a component. Different from RAID 1 arrays, this is only important for the internal structure of the array. 11.5.8 Drive Name Click the right mouse button on the icon for a host drive, array drive, or logical drive.

Figure 11-137. Logical Drive Information Window
11.5.8
Drive Name
Click the right mouse button on the icon for a host drive, array drive, or logical drive. This
menu option opens a dialog for entering a new name for the selected drive (up to 7
characters).
Drive No
The number of the logical drive.
Drive Name
The name of the logical drive.
Type
The type of the logical drive. A logical drive can be either a single
disk, or a chaining group of disks (concatenation), or a stripe set of
several disks.
Status
This is the state of the logical drive. It can be
ready
,
missing
(not
available after reset) or
failed
(for example, no longer available for the
controller).
Capacity
The available capacity of array drives or host drives.
Attributes
The attribute of a logical drive is usually read/write ([RW]). If a
component of a disk array is missing during startup and the operator
decides not to activate fail mode, the array is set to the read only
attribute ([RO]). When the missing drive becomes available, the array
drive shows the ready status (for example, attribute [RW]).
Last Status
The last status information of a logical drive. This is different from the
last status information of physical drives.
RAID 1
Component
If the logical drive is a member of a RAID 1 array, it can be either
master or slave. If a RAID 1 component is added to a logical drive, the
data is read from the master and written to the added logical drive
(the slave). One master may have several slaves.
RAID 4/5
Component
As a member of a RAID 4 or RAID 5 array a logical drive can be the
master or a component. Different from RAID 1 arrays, this is only
important for the internal structure of the array.
