• Do not delete or create partitions using the Windows NT setup program. You can
format partitions but do not delete or create any partitions. All partitions, both for
Boot LUNs and Data LUNs must have been created by the PowerVault 530F.
Failure to adhere to this restriction may cause data corruption. Symptoms of data
corruption include but are not limited to:
— Windows NT Blue Screen Stop 0x0000007b (inaccessible boot device)
— Servers begin running the ChkDsk utility
This situation can lead to data loss.
