Chapter 1: Introduction to Adaptec Storage Manager ● 16
Continuing to Grow Your Storage Space
As your needs change, Adaptec Storage Manager will help you grow your storage space to
include multiple controllers, storage enclosures, and disk drives in multiple locations.
In this example, multiple systems, servers, disk drives, and enclosures have been added to the
storage space. The Administrator can create and modify logical drives and monitor all the
controllers, enclosures, and disk drives in the storage space from the local system (see page 27).
