The total size that is displayed is not the total size of the physical disk. It is the total available disk
size, which means the total of the sizes of all logical devices on the machine. Thus, this total size is
increased or decreased by creating or deleting logical devices.

IMPORTANT:
The StorageWorks XP1024/XP128 has the capability to integrate two array groups and
handle them as a single array group. This is called a discrete VDEV configuration (see
Figure 10-10
). A
discrete VDEV configuration logically integrates two sets of 2D+2D (RAID1) into a single set of 2D+2D
(RAID1) by integrating two array groups.
For a discrete VDEV configuration, Coupled is displayed in the parity group list along with the remote
parity group (Coupled:1-2). If you select a parity group of a discrete VDEV configuration in the Frame
Information (level 1) panel, Frame Information (level 2) panel displays information only for array groups
