Field Description
Identifier The identifier of the volume
Type The RAID type of the volume
Size (GB) The coerced size of the volume
NOTE:
To facilitate coercion on new larger disk drives, the disk size must
be coerced down with a factor of 128 MB. Additionally, to comply with the
latest Disk Data Format standard, 512 MB of space must be reserved for
RAID metadata on the drive. This results in several hundred MB of space
being removed from the usable size of an volume when it is created.
Status The status of the volume
Manage
Hotspares This option is used to create or delete global hot spares. Using this
option you can:
• Assign a hot spare, (RAID 1 and RAID 10 configurations only).
• Display each drive’s type, size and hot spare status.
