NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager allows you to create multiple logical disks at once to both HP EVA and HP MSA 2000 family storage arrays. However, if you have HP MSA 1000/1500 storage arrays, you can create only one new logical disk at a time. 8. When you finish adding to the list of new logical disks, click Next. 9. To complete the logical disk creation, click Finish. The Create New Logical Disk wizard shows the progress of the logical disk creation, the results, and any error message from the subsystem if logical disk creation fails. 10.

Simple SAN Connection Manager automatically retrieves the updated configuration from the subsystem and refreshes the navigation pane and the topology maps in the content pane to include the new logical disk(s). NOTE: If you present (assign) a logical disk to a Windows system, you can instead use the system's Disk Management option to create partitions and assign a drive letter or mount path on partitions. 1.
