P00121_-_HP_Smart_Array_Profile

Version 1.3.001 53
Figure 21 shows a typical Smart Array configuration that has one storage pool configured with two disk
drives. This pool can have multiple Storage Volumes configured. In this example we have both a RAID 0
and a RAID 1 volumes allocated from the same pool. Note that the capabilities of the pool will dictate
which RAID levels are currently supported. (E.g. in the above example, RAID 5 or RAID 6 cannot be
supported with only two drives).

Figure 22 - HP Smart Array profile: Multiple Storage Pools
Figure 22 shows a Smart Array controller with two concrete Storage Pools each with one logical Drive
configured. Both concrete storage pools are allocated from the single primordial pool.
