2. Enter information about the LSU.
Storage
Server
Select the storage server that will contain the new LSU.
Available
Capacity
(Recommended for best performance) Select this option to add an LSU that uses the available
capacity on the system.
You cannot add an available capacity LSU to a storage server that already contains an LSU.
Also, if you add an available capacity LSU to a storage server, you cannot add additional LSUs
to that same storage server.
Note: After you add an LSU that uses the Available Capacity option, you cannot change
the LSU to use the Specific Capacity option. Instead, you must delete the LSU, then add
a new LSU and choose the Specific Capacity option (see Deleting an LSU on page 246).
Specific
Capacity
Select this option to specify the physical capacity of the LSU, and then enter the following
information.
l LSU Name - Enter the name of the LSU.
l Physical Capacity - Enter the physical capacity of the LSU (1 to 1048576 GB).
Note: Quantum recommends setting LSUs to maximum size (1048576 GB) because
spanning them on a backup is not possible.
