Figure 14-15 Host-to-Logical-Drive Mappings - Complete
4. Our host server COLORADO is now mapped to logical drive 1. To confirm this, we run the
Host-to-Logical-Drive-Mappings task in the Summary tab. As you can see in
Figure 14-16, the mapping has been set up correctly.

Configure the disk space in Windows 2003
The logical drive now needs to be recognized in Windows, before we can start using the disk
space. One possibility is to shutdown and reboot the host server. But there is a better
alternative. We will use the hot_add utility (a part of SMutil).
By default, the hot_add executable is located in C:\Program Files\IBM_DS3000\util. In a
command prompt window, change to this directory. If you installed the DS3000 Storage
Manager in a non-default directory, change to that directory instead, and then to subdirectory
util.
Now run hot_add.
When the utility completes, you will be able to use the
Disk Management applet in the
Computer Management utility and configure the disk space for operating system use. This
includes the following:
1. Initialize and optionally convert to dynamic disk.
