Task 6: Creating Logical Drives
WebPAM PROe offers three methods of creating disk arrays and logical drives.
Two of these methods are suitable for Modular Server because they can create
multiple logical drives:
• Express – You choose the RAID characteristics and type of application.
Creates a disk array and logical drives based on your input. Faster.
• Advanced – You specify all parameters for the disk array and logical drives.
One logical drive will be created automatically. You can create additional
logical drives now or at a later time. More options. See page 14.

different arrays will be created for each type of drive.
