Creating and Modifying Logical Devices

In Adaptec Storage Manager, a logical device is an iSCSI target accessed by the iSCSI
initiators in the systems on your IP SAN. When you manually provision storage
manually, you begin by creating a logical device that you then log into from the
system and format locally. In Adaptec Storage Manager, logical devices appear in
the Logical Devices View.
For more information about provisioning storage manually and
Note
automatically, see "Step 4: Provisioning Storage to Your Systems" on page 40.
Once a logical device is created, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to modify it.
This section describes how to:
• Create a new logical device after setup is complete (see the following section)
• Modify a logical device (see page 105)
• Delete a logical device (see page 105)
To create or edit the Discovery Control List for a logical device, see "Limiting
