Configuring a Partition

1. Initialize the storageset or disk drive, specifying any desired switches:

INITIALIZE STORAGESET-NAME SWITCHES

INITIALIZE DISK-NAME SWITCHES

See “Specifying Initialization Switches” on page 77 for a description of the

initialization switches.

2. Create each partition in the storageset or disk drive by indicating the

partition's size. Also specify any desired switch settings:

CREATE_PARTITION STORAGESET-NAME SIZE=N SWITCHES

CREATE_PARTITION DISK-NAME SIZE=N SWITCHES

where N is the percentage of the disk drive or storageset that will be assigned

to the partition. Enter SIZE=LARGEST, on the last partition only, to let the

controller assign the largest free space available to the partition.

Note: See the CREATE_PARTITION command in the

HP StorageWorks HSG60 and

HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller Software Command Line Interface (CLI)

Reference Guide

for a description of the partition switches.

3. Verify the partitions:

SHOW STORAGESET-NAME

SHOW DISK-NAME

The partition number appears in the first column, followed by the size and

starting block of each partition.

4. Assign the partition a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See

“Assigning Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers” on page 147.
