Before you create more than one array, you must be sure that your host operating system supports 
multiple logical unit numbers (LUNs). Most operating systems do, or have an option you can enable to 
support multiple LUNs. If your operating system does not support multiple LUNs, the host will only be able 
to see one array at LUN 0.

Before you create an array, you must decide whether you want to partition the array. You can create an 
array one of two ways:

• As  a  single-partition array: an array that stores all data in a single partition and is accessed by a 

single LUN.

• As  a  multiple-partition array: an array that can have one or more partitions, with each partition 

assigned its own LUN. 

For more information about partitions, see 

C.3.1, ”Understanding Partitions”, on page 133

.

You can create an array that has just one partition. Once you create a single-partition array, you cannot 
add more partitions. Single-partition arrays work well in environments that need one large, fault-tolerant 
storage space for data on one server. A large database accessed by users on a single server that is used 
only for that application is an example.

From the System Menu, select Add an Array and press Enter.

The Enter Array Name screen displays.

Enter a name for the array and press Enter.
