Using HP P6000 SmartStart on Server 2, you would:

• Create a 130 GB virtual disk and mount it as drive G.

• Create a 30 GB virtual disk and mount it as drive H.

• Create a 150 GB virtual disk and mount it as drive R.

Virtual disk capacity

HP P6000 Command View uses the following capacity-related terms for virtual disks, including

containers, mirrorclones, snapclones, and snapshots. Capacity measures of MB, GB and TB are

binary values. See Storage capacity FAQ.

• Requested capacity. The amount of space (size) that a user has requested for the virtual disk.

• Allocated capacity. The amount of space that the storage system has currently allocated for

the virtual disk.

In most cases the requested capacity and the allocated capacity are the same. However, when a

user has requested more space for a virtual disk than is currently available in the virtual disk's disk

group the allocated capacity will be less than the requested capacity.

See also Disk group capacity, Physical disk drive capacity and Storage system and storage network

capacity.

The following guidelines apply to virtual disks and containers:

• Names. Up to 32 characters long. Names are not case sensitive but are subject to character

• Size. 2,000 GB (2 TB) maximum, 1 GB minimum. When creating, the size must be specified

in whole GBs (no decimals).
