Creating RAID volumes
The Create Volumes button will be active if the following conditions are present:
• There is unconfigured storage present.
• All unconfigured storage is in the OK – Blank state, or there is some unconfigured storage in the OK –
Blank state and all other unconfigured storage is in the OK – Available for Expansion state. (The
storage already has valid RAID volumes configured.)
• Sufficient capacity expansion licenses have been applied for all storage present.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the Storage > Storage Configuration tab.
2. Click Create Volumes.
A dialog box will appear that states, Please Wait — Volume Creation in progress. Volume creation
will take up to 5 minutes to complete. During this time, no other actions on the Storage Configuration
tab will be available. Parity initialization will then take place automatically. When the parity initialization
process completes, the storage expansion status will change to OK – Available for Expansion.
