4.1.2.8.1 Slicing

You can subdivide a RAID array into segments, or slices. These slices are effective

hardware partitions of all drives in the array. Each slice is a separate LUN and appears

as a separate volume on the host computer. After slicing, the LUN map must be set for

each slice.

Note

You can create up to 16 slices per array and 64 LUNs on the

controller. The total number of unique arrays’ slices can not

exceed 16.

Follow the steps below to select an array to slice or merge.

1. Select the array to slice or merge by clicking on a drive with an array number. The

capacity is displayed. By default, Slice 0 contains the entire capacity of the disk

array.

2. Click on Slice 0, and use the slide bar or buttons to free space for creating other

slices. Click OK to confirm.
