4.7 Partitioning a Logical Drive/Logical
Volume
The process of partitioning a logical drive is the same as that of
partitioning a logical volume. The partitioning of a logical volume is used
as an example in the proceeding discussion.
Note that partitioning can be very useful when dealing with a very large
capacity; however, partitioning a logical drive or logical volume is not a
requirement for RAID configuration.

Choose the logical volume you wish to partition, then press [ENTER].
Choose Partition logical volume, then press [ENTER]. Select from the
list of undefined partitions and press [ENTER].
A list of partitions displays. If the logical volume has not yet been
partitioned, all volume capacity will list as “partition 0.”

Press [ENTER] and type the desired size for the selected partition, and
then press [ENTER] to proceed. The remaining size will be automatically
allotted to the next partition.
When prompted by the “Partition Logical Volume?” message, choose Yes
to confirm then press [ENTER]. Follow the same procedure to partition
the remaining capacity of your logical volume.
