Partitioning and Formatting Your Logical Drives
The logical drives you create appear as physical disk drives on your operating system. You must partition
and format these logical drives before you can use them to store data.
Note: Logical drives that have not been partitioned and formatted cannot be used
to store data.
Refer to your operating system documentation for more information.
Creating Logical Drives on Other Systems in Your Storage Space
If you installed maxView Storage Manager and Adaptec RAID controllers on more than one system,
continue building your storage space as follows:
• From each individual system, log in to maxView Storage Manager and repeat the steps to perform
an Express Configuration or Custom Configuration, or
• From your local system (the system you're working on), log in to all other systems in your storage
space as remote systems (see
Logging into Remote Systems from the Local System
on page 37),
then repeat the steps to perform an Express Configuration or Custom Configuration, or
• From your local system, create a server template file and deploy the configuration to the remote
systems in your storage space (see
Deploying Servers
on page 101).
