Creating and Modifying Volumes
When Adaptec Storage Manager provisions storage to an iSCSI Storage Host, it
creates a logical device, automatically logs into it from the iSCSI Storage Host, and
formats it. The result is a volume —in Adaptec Storage Manager, a volume is a
logical device that has been automatically provisioned to an iSCSI Storage Host.
Volumes appear in the Volumes View. On an iSCSI Storage Host, a volume appears
as a local disk drive. Each volume in the Volumes View corresponds to a logical
device in the Logical Devices View.
Note
For information about storage provisioning on systems running Windows
Vista, Window XP, Linux, or VMware, see “Creating and Modifying Logical
Devices” on page 98.
