Create New Logical Disk Wizard (MSA storage)

11.

To remove the logical disk from the list and prevent its creation, select the logical disk, and then click

Remove. (Because HP MSA storage arrays allow you to create only one new logical disk at a time, you

cannot use the Add button to create multiple logical disks at this time as you can on HP EVA storage

arrays.)

12.

When you are satisfied with your settings for the new logical disk, click Next.

13.

To complete the logical disk creation, click Finish.
The Create New Logical Disk wizard shows the progress of the logical disk creation, the results, and

any error message from the subsystem if logical disk creation fails. It may take several minutes to create

a logical disk on MSA storage.

14.

When you have finished creating the logical disk, and you have reviewed all status and messages,

click Close.

Simple SAN Connection Manager automatically retrieves the updated configuration from the subsystem

and refreshes the navigation pane and the topology maps in the content pane to include the new logical

disk(s).

NOTE:

If you present (assign) a logical disk to a Windows system, use the system’s Disk Management

option to create partitions and assign a drive letter or mount path on partitions.

1.

To access Computer Management, choose one of the following options:
• Open the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, and then select Computer

Management.

• On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Manage.

2.

In the Computer Management utility’s left pane under Storage, click Disk Management.
