Configuring a Single-Disk Unit (JBOD)

1. Initialize the disk drive, specifying any desired switches:

INITIALIZE DISK-NAME SWITCHES

See "Specifying Initialization Switches", page 95, for a description of the

initialization switches.

2. Verify the configuration by entering the following command:

SHOW DISK-NAME

3. Assign the disk a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See

"Assigning Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers", page 175.

Configuring a Partition

1. Initialize the storageset or disk drive, specifying any desired switches:

INITIALIZE STORAGESET-NAME SWITCHES

INITIALIZE DISK-NAME SWITCHES

See "Specifying Initialization Switches", page 95, for a description of the

initialization switches.

2. Create each partition in the storageset or disk drive by indicating the

partition's size. Also specify any desired switch settings:

CREATE_PARTITION STORAGESET-NAME SIZE=N SWITCHES

CREATE_PARTITION DISK-NAME SIZE=N SWITCHES

where N is the percentage of the disk drive or storageset that is assigned to the

partition. Enter

SIZE=LARGEST, on the last partition only, to let the controller

assign the largest free space available to the partition.

Note: See the CREATE_PARTITION command in the

HP StorageWorks HSG60 and

HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller Software Command Line Interface

Reference Guide

for a description of the partition switches.

3. Verify the partitions:

SHOW STORAGESET-NAME
