RAID Arrays and Logical Drives
Remember, when using drives attached to an IBM RAID controller, the
physical drives are combined into a RAID array. Within this array, you can
specify how much of the total available (drive array) disk space will be
assigned to a certain RAID level (RAID-0, -1 or -5). This particular disk space
is called a logical drive. However, this logical drive is presented by the RAID
controller as a single disk drive to Windows NT. This (logical) drive needs to
be partitioned and formatted in the same fashion as any other disk drive.
