Note
Before you create more than one array, you must be sure that your host operating system supports
multiple logical unit numbers (LUNs). Most operating systems do, or have an option you can enable to
support multiple LUNs. If your operating system does not support multiple LUNs, the host will only be able
to see one array at LUN 0.
Before you create an array, you must decide whether you want to partition the array. You can create an
array one of two ways:
• As a
single-partition array
: an array that stores all data in a single partition and is accessed by a
single LUN.
• As a
multiple-partition array
: an array that can have one or more partitions, with each partition
assigned its own LUN.
For more information about partitions, see
C.3.1, ”Understanding Partitions”, on page 133
.
C.1.1 Creating a Single-Partition Array
You can create an array that has just one partition. Once you create a single-partition array, you cannot
add more partitions. Single-partition arrays work well in environments that need one large, fault-tolerant
storage space for data on one server. A large database accessed by users on a single server that is used
only for that application is an example.
To create a single-partition array:
1
From the System Menu, select
Add an Array
and press
Enter
.
The Enter Array Name screen displays.
2
Enter a name for the array and press
Enter
.
