Adding a Logical Drive to a Logical VolumeA logical volume is composed of two or more logical drives and can be divided into a maximum of 32 partitions for SCSI and 128 partitions for Fibre Channel. During operation, the host sees a non-partitioned logical volume or a partition of a logical volume as one single physical drive.
NOTE: Do not partition the logical drive that you are adding to the logical volume. A logical drive that has been partitioned cannot be added to a logical volume.
The logical drive is added to the LV Definition box. The total size of the logical volume is displayed in the Available Size (MB field. NOTE: Because the logical volume has not been partitioned yet, the Part Size (MB), and the Available Size (MB) are equal. A single logical volume is considered to be a single partition.
Repeat this step for every logical drive you want to add to the logical volume.
When you are finished creating logical volumes and do not want to create an individual logical drive, click Commit. NOTE: When you are finished creating logical volumes and want to exit the New Configuration window, if you accidentally click Commit LV instead of Commit, you will have to create another logical drive; otherwise, you have to click Cancel and configure the logical volume again. |
