Select the LV you wish to delete and click the "OK" button that can be found at the bottom of the

screen.

You will be asked to confirm that you wish to delete the LV in question. If you are certain that you

want to delete the LV then select OK. The logical volume will be deleted and removed from the

logical volumes list.

Important

Deleting a logical drive irretrievably wipes all data currently stored on the logical drive.

8.4 Partitions

Partitions can be created in both logical drives (LD) and logical volumes (LV). Depending on your

specific needs, you can partition an LD or LV into smaller sizes or just leave it at its default size (that

is, one large partition covering the entire LD or LV).

If you intend to map an entire LD or LV to a single host LUN, then partitioning becomes irrelevant.

If, however, the LD or LV is to be mapped to multiple host LUNs, then you need to define partitions

for later LUN mapping.

Note

You can create a maximum of eight partitions per logical drive or logical volume. Also, partitioned

logical drives can not be part of a logical volume.

Select the "Logical Drive" icon from the Logical View Navigation Panel shown in Figure 8–55. As

shown in Figure 8–55, all the LDs that have been created will appear below the "Logical Drive" icon.
