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).
