11.2.12 LogicalVolume creation (manual operation)

Select the RAIDGroup in which a LogicalVolume is to be created, and select [Design] - [Make LogicalVolume] or select [Make LogicalVolume] from the pop-up menu to open the LogicalVolume creation window.

The LogicalVolume creation window is shown below:

Create a LogicalVolume using the LogicalVolume creation window as follows:

  1. From the RAIDGroup tree, select the free space to be allocated to a new LogicalVolume.

  2. Select one of the following three methods of LogicalVolume creation:

    • [Specify capacity and number]

      Specify the capacity of a LogicalVolume for [Capacity(MB)] and the number of LogicalVolumes for [Number to create].

    • [Divide free space between volumes]

      The LogicalVolume capacity is allocated evenly according to the number specified for [Number to create] in the specified free space areas.

    • [Specify details for each volume]

      The capacity of the LogicalVolumes to be allocated is entered only once to create LogicalVolumes.

  3. After entering all necessary parameters for creating LogicalVolumes, click the <Add> button.

    This completes the procedure for assigning LogicalVolumes to the specified RAIDGroup.
