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 99)
• Delete a logical device (see page 100)
To create or edit the Auto-discovery Control List for a logical device, see
Note
"Limiting Discovery of iSCSI Targets with Auto-discovery Control Lists" on page

Creating a New Logical Device
You can add new logical devices to your IP SAN at any time, as long as adequate
pool space is available.
To create a new logical device:
In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Appliance.

In the Logical Devices View, select any pool.
