Figure 13: Enter Array Name Screen
Before an array is created, the user must decide whether or not to partition the array. There
are two (2) ways to partition an array:
1. Single-partition array - an array that stores all data in a single partition and is ac-
cessed by a single LUN.
2. Multiple-partition array - an array that can have one or more partitions, with each
partition assigned its own LUN.
Refer to section "Understanding Partitions" for further information
Creating a Single-Partition Array
This function allows the user to create single-partition arrays. Once a single-partition array
has been created, more partitions can be added later. Single-partition arrays work well in
environments that need one large, fault-tolerant storage space for data on one server.
To create a single-partition array:
1. Select Add an Array from the System Menu and press Enter.
The Enter Array Name screen should now display (Figure 13).
