HP SureStore E SAN Manager LUN Management Administrator's Guide

40 Creating the SAN Database
6. Right-click a device and choose Partition for Database or select a device and click
the Partition for Database button.
Note When you use either of the commands in step 6, SAN Manager LM creates a
400 megabyte database partition. In addition to the database partition, SAN
Manager LM also creates a file system partition composed of the remaining disk
space. If you want to partition database devices with more complex partition
configurations, follow the instructions on pages 138 to 141.
SAN Manager LM warns you that partitioning a device for the database will destroy any
data on the device.
7. Click Yes.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to create additional database partitions. You can create up to three
database partitions.
9. If you create three database partitions, the database wizard automatically skips to the
next database creation dialog box. If you do not want to create three partitions, create
one or two partitions and click the Next button.
