(The minimum size for a membership partition is 100 MB.) Repeat this
procedure to select two more membership partitions. We recommend
that the partitions be on different disks.
When selecting partitions for use as membership partitions, be sure
that they do not contain any needed data. When the membership
partitions are created, any existing data will be erased.
2. Snapshot configuration. Matrix Server provides support for taking
hardware snapshots of PSFS filesystems. (The filesystems must be
located on storage arrays supported for snapshots.) If you want to use
this capability, you will need to configure the snapshot method.
