4.2 Creating Volumes
Adding volumes defines what volumes are accessible through the xStack Storage target. The
xStack Storage Management Center provides a Create Volume Wizard that makes volume
creation as easy as answering a few questions. Options are provided that allow you to either
customize the volume or have the Wizard fine-tune the volume for you. As you create
volumes, record the information in Table C-1.
Drives that have volumes cannot be reserved for use as spares. If you intend
to use a drive as a spare, perform the procedure in section 5.2.3 before
creating volumes on the drive.
