6. Partitioning Configured
Volumes
This chapter explains how to partition volumes after configuring them with the SteelVine
Manager. The end-user must partition volumes for the host computer's operating system
before one can store data on the volumes. Refer to the operating system documentation
for further guidance.

MS Windows
Important: Before reconfiguring a volume, back up the data and delete previously defined
SteelVine partitions. Do not, however, delete the partition that represents the SteelVine
processor (the "Not Initialized" disk with no capacity allocated to it). After the end-user
configures and partitions the new volumes, S/he can restore the backed-up data to the new
configuration.
