Configuring RAID storage using GVG Disk Utility
After connecting the Fibre Channel RAID storage system to the Profile XP Media
Platform, you must use the GVG Disk Utility to bind the storage system’s disk modules
into logical units (LUNs) and create a video file system that is recognizable by the
Profile XP Media Platform.
This section includes the following:
• “About configuring storage” on page 72
• “Introducing the GVG Disk Utility” on page 75
• “Binding disks and creating a video file system” on page 77
• “Configuring hot spare drives” on page 83
• “Changing the video file system volume name” on page 85
• “Expanding storage” on page 87
• “Unbinding LUNs for reconfiguration” on page 91
NOTE: If your Profile XP Media Platform is part of an Open SAN, disregard the
procedures in this section, and refer to the configuration instructions in the Open
SAN Instruction Manual.
