The Configure Volumes For Virtual Disk page is displayed and summarizes your
selections.
10. (Optional) Set How Many Volumes to
your virtual disk.
You can create a virtual disk that has no volumes (the default), one volume, or
multiple volumes (online initialization only). If you choose to create no volumes,
you can later add standard volumes or volumes of other types.
11. If you specified to create one or more volumes, set the following volume options:
Create Volumes Of Equal Size? – (Online initialization only) The default is Yes.
■
If you select No, you can type the size of each volume on the next page.
Present Volumes To All Hosts? – The default is No, which sets the volumes'
■
LUN to None so hosts cannot access the volumes until you explicitly map them.
If you select Yes, the volumes are automatically mapped to all connected hosts
with read-write access on all controller host ports, and the Automatically Assign
LUNs option is enabled.
Automatically Assign LUNs? – The default is Yes. If you select No, you can type
■
the LUN for each volume on the next page.
Would You Like To Name Your Volumes? – (Online initialization only) The
■
default is No. If you select Yes, you can type a name for each volume on the next
page.
12. (Optional) Set the following advanced options for the virtual disk:
Virtual Disk Chunk Size – The chunk size is the amount of contiguous data that
■
is written to a virtual disk member before moving to the next member of the
virtual disk. The allowed values are 16K, 32K, or 64K (Kbyte). The default is
64K. If you are using the virtual disk for a database with very small records, you
might want to use a smaller chunk size. Check the data chunk size that your
application is sending to the virtual disk, then set the virtual disk chunk size to
best match that of your application.
Preferred Virtual Disk Owner – Select the controller that should own the virtual
■
disk. If you do not make a selection here, SMU automatically selects the owner
and balances the number of virtual disks each controller owns.
Click Continue to return to the previous window and continue the virtual disk
creation process.
