Creating and Deleting Logical
Volumes
You can create and delete logical volumes from your GUI RAID
Manager station.
Logical volumes are created by simply
combining unassigned logical drives together. You can combine
logical drives with different capacities and RAID levels into one
logical volume.
Alternatively, you can delete existing logical
volumes. Before deleting though, be sure that the data stored in
the logical volume is no longer needed.
Deleting a logical
volume erases all stored information.
NOTE:
When you delete a logical volume, all assigned
logical drives to this volume will be released, making them
available again for logical volume creation.
