About drive enclosures

Drive enclosures are hardware devices that contain a set of drive bays. A drive enclosure is installed in a device bay of an enclosure, and provides composable storage to servers. Composable storage is a group of physical drives that you can dynamically define as virtual drives. These virtual drives are called logical JBODs. A JBOD (just a bunch of disks) is a group of physical disk drives that are assigned to server hardware. Unlike a RAID configuration, a JBOD is a not redundant configuration. You can specify a RAID configuration when you create a logical JBOD.

Logical JBODs are created and assigned to server hardware from server profiles or server profile templates.
