8.4 Partitions
8.4.1 Overview
Partitions can be created in both logical drives (LD) and logical volumes (LV). Depending on your
specific needs, you can partition an LD or LV into smaller sizes or just leave it at its default size (that
is, one large partition covering the entire LD or LV).
If you intend to map an entire LD or LV to a single host LUN, then partitioning becomes irrelevant.
If, however, the LD or LV is to be mapped to multiple host LUNs, then you need to define partitions
for later LUN mapping.
Note You can create a maximum of eight partitions per logical drive or logical volume. Also, partitioned
logical drives can not be part of a logical volume.
8.4.2 Partitioning a Logical Drive (LD)
1 Select the “Logical Drive” icon from the Logical View Navigation Panel shown in Figure 8–55. As
shown in Figure 8–55, all the LDs that have been created will appear below the “Logical Drive” icon.
