current adapter with all arrays, logical drives, and hot spares, is shown in the
Logical Devices window. Each logical drive has a label (such as LD1), the
RAID level, and the drive capacity. Spanned arrays have hyphenated array
numbers (for example: LD1-1). Click on Finish to complete the configuration
process. You can click on Back if you want to change anything.
