Modifying RAID Group partitions
A RAID Group may have several Terabytes of total
data capacity because of the size of the included
drives. Partitions allow you to break up large RAID
Groups into smaller, more manageable groups.
Most host systems can address only 2 TB per LUN.
Partitioning increases storage efficiency by providing
more LUNs without using lower capacity RAID
Groups.
Partitioning allows the creation of multiple logical
volumes.
