3.6.1 HP PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide (T5392-96018, August 2008)

Chapter 8: Configure Dynamic Volumes 80
Create a Dynamic Volume
When you create a dynamic volume, you will need to select the
subdevices to be included in the volume. If the volume will be striped,
you will also need to select a stripe size. Optionally, Matrix Server can
also create a filesystem that will be placed on the dynamic volume.
To create a dynamic volume from the PolyServe Management Console,
use one of the following methods:
• From the Storage menu, select Dynamic Volume > Create Volume
• Select Matrix > Add > Add Dynamic Volume
• Click the Volume icon on the toolbar
Filesystem: If you want Matrix Server to create a filesystem that will be
placed on the dynamic volume, enter a label to identify the filesystem. If
you do not want a filesystem to be created, remove the checkmark from
“Create filesystem after volume creation.”
