NOTE Don't be misled by the displayed disk capacity for your arrays. When Disk Administrator calculates disk capacity, it disregards redundancy storage used by the selected RAID level. The displayed and usable storage capacity for the array is, therefore, less than the total capacity of all drives in the array. For example, the displayed and usable array capacity for a RAID 5 array would be C(N-1), where N is the number of drives and C is the capacity of one drive. Likewise, for RAID 1 the capacity would be one-half the capacity of the two drives. 3. Click OK to include the full disk in the partition (the default).

Disk Administrator, Scanned Logical Disks
Create Full Disk Partitions for each Array
1.
Click the disk box to select the shared array to be partitioned.
Disk Administrator highlights the selected disk.
2.
From Disk Administrator’s
Partition
menu, choose
Create
.
A dialog appears indicating the maximum size of a single partition.
NOTE
Don’t be misled by the displayed disk capacity for your arrays.
When Disk Administrator
calculates disk capacity, it disregards redundancy storage used by the selected RAID
level. The displayed and usable storage capacity for the array is, therefore, less than the
total capacity of all drives in the array.
For example, the displayed and usable array
capacity for a RAID 5 array would be C(N-1), where N is the number of drives and C is
the capacity of one drive.
Likewise, for RAID 1 the capacity would be one-half the
capacity of the two drives.
3.
Click
OK
to include the full disk in the partition (the default).
In the following example, Disk 1 has been partitioned and Disk Administrator assigned a temporary
drive letter to the disk array.
