Notes:
A. If you are configuring a unit for primary storage and it will be
greater than 2 TB, be sure to enable the auto-carve policy before
creating the unit.
B. When volumes have been created through auto-carving, they
cannot be deleted except by deleting the unit.
C. If you create a bootable unit that has multiple volumes, the first
volume is always used as the boot device.
D. Changing the auto-carve policy does not affect existing units.
Setting the Size of Volumes Created with Auto-
Carving
If you create units over 2 TB in size and use auto-carving to divide them into
multiple volumes, you can control the size of the volumes to be created by
setting the carve size (referred to as carving factor in 3BM) to use. The carve
size can be between 1TB (1024 GB) and 2 TB (2048 GB); the default is
2TB.
When you change this policy, it applies to units you create in the future.
Existing units will not be affected.

Management > Controller Settings from the menu bar in 3DM.
2 In the Other Controller Settings section at the bottom of the screen, in the
