HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array FC VDS Hardware Provider for Windows 2003 Administration Guide (T1634-96074, February 2007)

the HP Array Configuration Utility user guide. Install the MPIO soft ware, if used. Ensure the array is
connected through a Fibre Channel switch to the hardware provider server as explained previously.
NOTE:
When using the VDS framework to create and manage LUNs, make LUNs close to the same size as
the physical disk size. You can make LUNs smaller than a physical disk (or disks, if spanning multiple
disks), but any space left over on the physical disk(s) cannot be used. For example, if you have three 36
GB drives totalling 108 GB and you create a LUN of 20 GB spanning all three disks, the remaining
88 GB are u nusable.
