110 Managing Servers
Managing a partition
Use the Change Drive Letter and Paths dialog box to manage a partition, including:
• Add a partition drive letter or path to a partition
• Change a drive letter or path for a partition
• Format a partition
• View the properties of a disk
• View the properties of the partition
To manage an existing partition:
1. On the Advanced Operations menu, click Create & Manage Partition.
If there is more than one Windows 2003/2008 Server with assigned LUNs, the Server Selection for
Partition Management window opens; continue with step 2 . If there is only one server with assigned
LUNs, SAN Connection Manager automatically selects that server; skip to step 3 .
2. If the Server Selection for Partition Management window opens, select the server on which you want to
manage a partition, and then click OK.
SAN Connection Manager searches the selected server for new and existing disks. These disks are
LUNs that have been created on the storage subsystems and unmasked (assigned) to the server.
The Create & Manage Partitions dialog box opens; see
Figure 75 . It shows the LUNs and associated
disks on the top part and the map of disks and its partition(s) on the bottom.
From the disk/partition map, you can initialize new disks, add new partitions, modify or delete existing
partitions, and retrieve properties of the disk and partition.
3. To add a partition drive letter or path:
a. Right-click the partition, and on the shortcut menu, click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
b. On the Change Drive Letter and Paths dialog box (
Figure 79 ), click Add.
