Partitioning a Logical Volume
Now that we have created two RAID sets we will partition them into logical volumes for the
host CPU’s use. This is done by selecting View and Edit Logical Drives, selecting the logical
volume to partition and press e. Select the Partition Logical Drive option from the menu
shown in Figure 4-24.
Answer YES to the dialogue and the logical drive partition table will appear as shown in
Figure 4-25.
Press the e key and enter the desired capacity of the first partition. Repeat this for the
remaining partitions. In the example shown in Figure 4-26 the logical volume has been
divided up into five partitions, each having varying capacities.
