Select the appropriate array.
Select Configuration > Custom Configure.
NOTE: This selection is inactive unless you have selected a
controller with available physical drives.
Select Add LDs/LVs to the Current Configuration from the Custom
Configuration Options window.
Verify the server and controller that are displayed at the top of
the window are correct.
Select a disk you want to be included in the new logical drive and
click Add Disk.
If you make a mistake or change your mind, select the drive in the
participating drives list and click Remove Disk.
Select a RAID level. For definitions of the RAID levels, see RAID
Levels.
Select the desired Host channel and SCSI ID to which you would like
your new logical drive to be mapped to from the Channel and the
SCSI ID list boxes.
Set the Max Drive Size. The Max Drive Size displays
the total capacity of each disk. A smaller logical drive can be created
by decreasing this value.
NOTE: If you do not change the Max Drive Size but you
do change the Partition Size, SANscape creates a new partition
at the specified partition size. Remaining capacity can be used later
by expanding the drive (as explained in
Expanding the Capacity of a Logical Drive). The drive capacity
is no longer editable after a partition is created.
NOTE: If you want to create another logical drive on the same
controller, click New Logical Drive. SANscape creates the logical
drive you just defined and returns to the top of the window, enabling
you to create another logical drive. On a SANnet II 200 SCSI array,
you can create up to eight logical drives with up to 32 partitions
per logical drive. On a SANnet II 100 Blade SCSI array, you can create
up to six logical drives with up to 32 partitions per logical drive.
On a SANnet II 200 FC array, you can create up to eight logical drives
with up to 128 partitions per logical drive.
To add this logical drive to a logical volume, click New LD
and see Adding a Logical Drive to a Logical
Volume.
When you are satisfied with the selections on this window, and do
not want to define another logical drive, click Commit. A confirmation
window is displayed showing the new configuration.
Click OK to accept the configuration or Cancel to return to the console
NOTE: You cannot change a logical drive configuration after
you click OK.
NOTE: During initialization LD/LV size is displayed as 0 Mbyte.
(HP-UX OS only). To ensure the environment is stable and accurate after making configuration
changes, you need to run the ioscan -fnC disk command.
NOTE: If you used System Administrator Manager (sam) to unmount the file system,
make sure it is closed before running the ioscan command.
(IBM AIX OS only). To ensure the environment is stable and accurate after making configuration
changes, you need to update the Object Data Manager (ODM) as explained in Updating the Object Data Manager.
