Select the type of partition you want to create (NSS, Traditional, Remote
Storage Device).
6
Enter the size of the partition in bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes
(MB), or gigibytes (GB).
7
To reserve space for the Hot Fix error correction feature, select Hot Fix
and enter the amount of space or percentage you want to reserve.
Mirrored partitions must be compatible in data area size. This means the
new partition must be at least the same size or slightly larger than the
other partitions in the group. The physical size (combined data and Hot
Fix size) of the partition must be at least 100 KB, but no more than 120
MB larger than the data size of the existing partitions in the mirror group.
8
To mirror the partition, select Mirror and select one of the following
options:
Create New Mirror. This option means you are making the partition
capable of being part of a mirror group. You do not actually create
the group until you add another mirrored partition to the partition you
are creating.
Existing Mirror Group. (If you select this option, also select the ID
of the mirrored partition.) This shows a list of existing mirror groups
that are compatible in data area size. This option lets you add this
new partition to one of the mirror groups in the list.
9
Select a label for the partition (optional).
10
Click OK.
When you delete a partition you remove all volumes and data on that partition.
If the partition is mirrored, the other partitions in the mirror group will retain
the data from the deleted partition. If you want to delete a mirrored partition,
you must unmirror that partition before you delete it.
