Info

As all the member logical drives are selected, press [ESC] to continue. The logical volume creation confirm box will appear. Choose Yes to create the logical volume. Press [ENTER] and the information of the created logical volume will appear. LV: P0: S0: ID: Size: #LD: Logical Volume number Logical Volume 0 belongs to the primary controller Logical Volume 0 belongs to the secondary controller Controller random generated Logical Volume’s unique ID The capacity of the Logical Volume Number of the member logical drive(s) 8.6 Partitioning a Logical Drive/Logical Volume The process of partitioning a logical drive is the same as that of partitioning a logical volume. We take the partitioning of a logical volume for an example in the proceeding discussion. Please note that the partitioning of a logical drive or logical volume is not a must for RAID configuration. Terminal Operation 8-9
8-10 Choose the logical volume you wish to partition, then press [ENTER]. Choose “Partition logical volume” from the sub-menu, then press [ENTER]. Select from the list of undefined partitions and Press [ENTER]. A list of the partitions for this logical volume will appear. If the logical volume has not yet been partitioned, all the logical volume capacity will list as “partition 0.” Press [ENTER] and type the desired size for the selected partition, and then press [ENTER] to proceed. The remaining size will be automatically allotted to the next partition. Choose Yes to confirm when prompted to the “Partition Logical Volume?” message. Press [ENTER] to confirm. Follow the same procedure to partition the remaining capacity of your logical volume. When a partition of logical drive/logical volume is deleted, the capacity of the deleted partition will be added to the last partition. IMPORTANT! • As long as a partition has been changed, it is necessary to re-configure all host LUN mappings. All the host LUN mappings will be removed with any change to partition capacity.
