Configuring a Partition
1. Initialize the storageset or disk drive, specifying any desired switches:
INITIALIZE STORAGESET-NAME SWITCHES
or
INITIALIZE DISK-NAME SWITCHES
See “Initialization Switches” on page 2–25 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
or
CREATE_PARTITION DISK-NAME SIZE=N SWITCHES
where N is the percentage of the disk drive or storageset that will be assigned to the
partition. Enter SIZE=LARGEST to let the controller assign the largest free space
available to the partition.
NOTE: See the CREATE_PARTITION command in the Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array
Controller ACS Version 8.6 CLI Reference Guide for a description of the partition switches.
3. Verify the partitions:
SHOW STORAGESET-NAME
or
SHOW DISK-NAME
The partition number appears in the first column, followed by the size and starting
block of each partition.
4. Assign the partition a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See “Assigning
Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers” on page 5–19.
