If there is more than one Windows 2003 Server having assigned LUNs, the Server Selection for Partition Management window opens. If there is only one, Simple SAN Connection Manager automatically selects the server. 2. If the Server Selection for Partition Management window opens, select the server on which you want to create the partition, and then click OK. Simple SAN Connection Manager searches the selected server for new and existing disks. These disks are LUNs that have been created on the storage subsystems and unmasked (assigned) to the server. The Create & Manage Partitions dialog box opens; see Figure 71. This dialog box shows the LUNs and associated disks on the top part and the map of disks and its partition(s) on the bottom. From the disk/partition map, you can initialize new disks, add new partitions, modify or delete existing partitions, and retrieve properties of the disk and partition.
