Change the Partitioning on a Disk
The Linux fdisk utility can be used to change the partition layout on a
SAN disk. If the disk is currently imported into the matrix, you must first
deport the disk.
When you use fdisk, the changes made to the partition table are visible
only to the server where you made the changes. When you reimport the
disk, the other servers in the matrix will see the updated partition table.
Display Local Disk Information
The Disk Info window displays disk information from the viewpoint of
the local server. It can be used to match local disk names with the disk
names that Matrix Server uses (the PSD Name). You can also use this
window to import or deport SAN disks.
To see the disk information, select the server on the Management
Console, right-click, and then select View Local Disk Info. You can resize
the columns on the Disk Info window to view all of the information.
