Creating Volume

If there is free disk space in the hard disk drive that contains an OS, you can add a volume. In the example
below, create a partition of 1024MB in free space of hard disk drive to create RAID1 device md4 in the hard disk
drives with OS installed in Slot 1 (slot 0 of CPU/IO module 0) and Slot 9 (slot 0 of CPU/IO module 1).
1. Check the device name of the hard disk drive with OS and the RAID device being used by selecting
[1 List RAID Arrays] in ftdiskadm.
The following example shows that the names of hard disk drives with OS are /dev/sda and /dev/sdi,
respectively. The RAID device names are md0 to md3.
