On the first server, segments of space from each disk drive have been used to build two RAID 5 logical drives. A second server connected to two 12-disk-drive enclosures has been added. The additional storage space has been used to create two RAID 50 logical drives. The Administrator of this storage space can create and modify logical drives and monitor both controllers, disk drives, and enclosures from a single system, called the local system (see page 26).

Growing Your Storage Space with Adaptec Storage Manager
As your requirements change, Adaptec Storage Manager grows with your storage space as you
add more controllers, more disk drives, more logical drives, and more data protection.
A Simple Storage Space
This example shows a simple storage space that might be appropriate in a home office or for a
small business. This storage space includes one RAID controller and three disk drives installed
in a server. For data protection, the disk drives have been used to build a RAID 5 logical drive.
An Advanced Storage Space
This example shows how you can grow your storage space to meet the expanding requirements
of your business. On the first server, segments of space from each disk drive have been used to
build two RAID 5 logical drives. A second server connected to two 12-disk-drive enclosures has
been added. The additional storage space has been used to create two RAID 50 logical drives.
The Administrator of this storage space can create and modify logical drives and monitor both
controllers, disk drives, and enclosures from a single system, called the
local
system (see
page 26
).
