Virtual Disks 239
NOTE: The CERC SATA1.5/2s controller does not allow you to specify a name for
concatenated virtual disks. The concatenated virtual disk is created with a default
name.
3 Type the size for the virtual disk in the Size text box. The virtual disk size
must be within the minimum and maximum values displayed near the
Size text box. For information on how the maximum virtual disk size is
calculated, see Calculation for Maximum Virtual Disk Size and the Create
Virtual Disk Express Wizard.
In some cases, the virtual is slightly larger than the size you specify. The
Create Virtual Disk wizard may round up the size of the virtual disk to
avoid rendering a portion of the physical disk space unusable.
NOTE: When creating a virtual disk on the CERC SATA1.5/2s controller or on a
controller that is in a cluster configuration, you must specify the maximum virtual
disk size.
