3. From the Install CV pane (1) for OPEN-V, do the following:
a. In the Capacity Unit area, select MB, Cyl, or block for the capacity unit.
b. Select one of methods by clicking Specify capacity and number, Divide free space by number,
Divide free space by capacity, or Set remaining space as volume.
NOTE: If there are two or more free spaces in the VDEV, only the Specify capacity and number
option is available.
c. Specify the capacity of the volume and/or the number of volumes according to the selected
method. For example:
• If you selected Specify capacity and number, enter the capacity, either in MB, Cyl, or blocks, in
the Capacity box and the number of custom volumes in the Number box.
• If you selected Divide free space by number, enter the number of custom volumes in the Number
box.
• If you selected Divide free space by capacity, enter the capacity in the Capacity box.
• If you selected Set remaining space as volume, go to
step 3d .
The Install CV Volume function allocates custom volumes in the order in which the function finds
sufficient free space for the custom volumes, so for optimum space allocation you should allocate
custom volumes in descending order of capacity.
