Step 4: Provisioning Storage to Your Systems 3 Enter a size for the volume. (Adaptec Storage Manager won't allow you to enter a number greater than the amount of available pool space.) Select the capacity units from the drop-down list (GB, for instance). 4 Enter a name (or label) for the volume. Use a meaningful name that will help you easily identify it later. 5 Select a drive letter for the volume. Only unused drive letters are available in the Drive Letter of Empty Directory drop-down list. 6 (Optional) Click the Advanced settings arrow and adjust the settings as required. Note Adaptec highly recommends using CHAP authentication. Avoid disabling authentication. (See "Controlling Access to Your IP SAN with Authentication" on page 79 for more information.) 7 In the Pools list, select the pool in which to create the volume. The Available Space column of the Pools list shows which pools have sufficient space for the new volume. When you select a pool, the amount of available space is automatically adjusted. If you have no more available pool space, skip to Step 9. 8 If you have pool space available and want to create additional volumes for this iSCSI Storage Host, click Add volume to open a new tab in the wizard.
