Creating a logical disk—EVA storage

The Create New Logical Disk wizard assists with the creation of logical disks from the storage arrays

(subsystems) within your SAN. Use the following procedure to create a logical disk from an HP EVA

storage array. (If your storage array type is MSA, see “Creating a logical disk—MSA storage,” page 88.)

To create a logical disk for EVA storage:

1. To access the Create New Logical Disk wizard, choose one of the following options:

• On the Logical Disk Operations menu, click Create New Logical Disk.

• In the navigation pane or the content pane’s topology map, right-click the subsystem icon to select a

specific EVA subsystem from which to create a logical disk, and then on the shortcut menu, click

Create Logical Disk from Storage Subsystem.

The Create New Logical Disk wizard opens.

2. If no specific subsystem is selected and there is more than one subsystem in the SAN, select from the

subsystem list the EVA subsystem on which you want the logical disk(s) created, and then click Next.

The New Logical Disk Parameters dialog box (Figure 51) opens.

3. Specify the following logical disk parameters, and then click OK:

• Type—From the list, select the class of RAID you are adding as a logical disk, for example RAID 5

or RAID 0. The number of RAID types available varies depending on the number of drives included

in the disk group.

• Size—Enter the capacity of the disk you are adding as a logical disk. (Size must not exceed the

indicated Maximum LUN size. The maximum size changes according to the RAID type selected.)
