Storage partitions are defined by assigning a logical drive-to-LUN mapping
The Storage Partitioning Wizard helps you to quickly define a single storage partition. It guides you through the major steps required to specify which host groups
If no storage partition topology
1 |
Define the host groups |
2 |
Define the hosts that will access logical drives on the storage subsystem. For more information, see Defining a Host. |
3 |
Define the host ports that will allow a host to access logical drives on the storage subsystem. For more information, see Defining a Host Port. |
4 |
Define the storage partition, using the Storage Partitioning Wizard. To learn more about the Wizard, see A Preview of the Storage Partitioning Wizard. Storage partitions may also be defined using the Define Additional Mapping dialog. For more information, see Defining Additional Logical Drive-to-LUN Mapping. |

From the Topology pane of the Mappings View, select any node or object then select the Mappings >> Define >> Storage Partitioning pull-down menu option. Select Define Storage Partitioning from the right-mouse pop-up menu when the storage subsystem node, undefined mappings node, Default Group, or a host node is selected. |
