This main menu option allows you to configure Host Drives (level of hierarchy 4).

As already mentioned before, these are the drives the Host Computer is aware of. Host

Drives can consist of a single hard disk, or of many hard disk combined to a RAID 5 Array

Drive.

As you can see from the following screen, there are two Host Drives in the list, which be-

long to the same physical Array Drive. Host Drive 6 (2 of 2) is the result of a previous capa-

city expansion. If you expanded the capacity of the Array Drive a second time, there would

be three Host Drives in that list, belonging to one and the same Array Drive.

Since there is currently no operating system, which supports "growing hard disks", this ex-

pansion method is the only safe way to introduce new capacity.
