HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Administration Guide (403103-005, January 2008)

Chapter 8: Configure Dynamic Volumes 79
If you are creating a filesystem, you can also set various filesystem
options. Click the Options button to see the Filesystem Options dialog,
which allows you to select the block size for the filesystem and to
configure quotas. (See “Filesystem Options” on page 101 for details about
this dialog.)
Available Subdevices: The display includes all imported subdevices that
are not currently in use by another imported volume and that do not have
a filesystem in place. Subdevices belonging to unimported volumes that
are on imported disks are also included in the display. The subdevices
that you select will be used in the order in which they appear on the list.
Use the arrow keys to reorder, one-at-a-time, the appropriate subdevices
and then highlight those subdevices.
Striping: If you want this volume to use striping, check the “Enable
striping” checkbox and then select the size of the stripe. Although the
default stripe size of 64KB should be adequate for most applications and
hardware configurations, you may need to use a different stripe size for
your particular circumstances.
Click either OK or APPLY to create the volume. (APPLY keeps the
window open, allowing you to create additional dynamic volumes.)
NOTE: If you selected a subdevice that is associated with an unimported
volume, you will see a message reporting that the subdevice
contains a volume signature. The message asks whether you want
to destroy the affected unimported dynamic volume and reuse
this subdevice in the new volume you are creating. Be sure that
you do not need the unimported dynamic volume before doing
this. If the unimported volume associated with the subdevice is in
a “duplicate” state, the attempt to destroy the volume will fail. See
“Unimportable Volumes” on page 90 for more information.
When the dynamic volume has been created, the HP CFS Management
Console reports the psv name assigned to the volume. On the
Management Console, filesystems are identified with the psv name of the
dynamic volume on which they are located, as shown below.
