6.4.1 Set up the Logical Volumes for the Virtual Machines
For this section, a SAN LUN with at least 500GB of free space will need to be presented to
mgmt1. 250GB will be more than enough space for this exercise. Using a SAN will allow for
clustering this system later in the deployment.
Target System: mgmt1
