Create Virtual Volumes dialog box
Use this dialog box to create a virtual volume from an existing device. The Available Devices list shows all available top-level
devices. Select a device from the list and then click Add to add the device to the Selected Devices list.
To create thin virtual volumes, select the Create thin virtual volumes checkbox and make sure that all selected devices are
thin-capable.
NOTE: Selecting a mix of devices (thin capable and not thin capable) will result in creating thin virtual volumes on thin
devices and thick virtual volumes on thick devices.
