Make sure you select a volume group that can accommodate the requested size for the new

volume.

You can create volumes from existing free extent areas within a volume group.

The volume capabilities, their cache read ahead multiplier and segment size are shown in the

following table:

No volume-to-LUN masking is done by default.

IMPORTANT:

The management server creates a placeholder volume when a storage pool is

created. This placeholder volume is not viewable in the management server, but it might be

viewable in other storage tools. Do not delete this placeholder volume.
