Note:
Adaptec Storage Manager uses the term logical drives when referring to arrays.
In this example, Adaptec Storage Manager has used two equal-sized disk drives to
automatically create one logical drive with RAID 1.
To specify a size for the logical drives, or to make other changes to the configuration, click
Modify logical devices.
8 Click Apply, then click Yes when prompted to confirm applying your new configuration.
Adaptec Storage Manager builds the logical drive(s).
The configuration is saved on the Adaptec controller (as an “array” ) and on the physical
disk drives.
9 Partition and format your logical drive.
The logical drive you created appears as a physical disk drive on your operating system.
You must partition and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data.
10 Close all windows, then click Reboot to restart your system.

For information on installing and using Adaptec Storage Manager as a full software
