1. Creation of Logical Disks

The logical disk must be created according to your environment before using the disk array unit.
The following procedure is required to create a logical disk.
Bind the logical disk.
1.1 Binding Logical Disk
To create a logical disk, a 2-step procedure consisting of a POOL bind and an LD bind is required.
The POOL bind requires the specification of a RAID level. Select the RAID level carefully because it
has certain influences on system performance and capacity. See Section 2.4"RAID Configuration" for
details.
The LD bind requires the specification of capacity. The specified capacity defines the number of
logical disks in a single POOL. Select the capacity carefully because the unused area remaining may
affect the performance of the RAID. See "3. Logical Disk Capacity" in Appendix A for details.
See "Individual Settings (Bind/Unbind of Logical Disks)" in "NEC Storage Series Configuration
Guide" for the use of the management software, NEC Storage Manager.
