Chapter 2: Creating the Cluster
Creating Virtual Drives on the Controller Nodes
NOTE If you use more than 32 Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives when you
create secure VDs, failover might not function for some VDs. Hence, it
is best to use a maximum of 32 FDE drives when you create secure
configurations.
6. You can change the sequence of the physical drives in the Drives box. All of the available unconfigured good
drives appear in the Drives box. Press the spacebar to select the physical drives in the sequence that you prefer.
Based on your selection, the sequence number appears in the # column.
7. You can enter a size lesser than the maximum size of the drive group, if you want to create other virtual drives on
the same drive group. The maximum size of the drive group appears in the Size field. The size entered can be in
MB, GB, or TB and should be mentioned only in uppercase. Before entering a size, ensure that you have deleted
the previous default value by using the Backspace key.
8. Enter a name for the virtual drive in the Name field. The name given to the virtual drive cannot exceed 15
characters.
You may press the Advanced button to set additional properties for the newly created virtual drive. For more
information, see
Section 2.1.2, Selecting Additional Virtual Drive Properties .

A dialog appears, asking you whether you want to initialize the virtual drive you just created.
