Modifying partitions
You can use the Modify process to change the allocation of drives and storage magazines in
existing partitions without having to delete the entire partition and then recreate it. You also can
use Modify to change partition properties and partition settings.
CAUTION: Modifying partitions improperly, particularly when deleting partition elements, can
disrupt host applications.
Before you modify any partitions, understand the configuration changes you plan to make and the
potentially disruptive effects that those changes could have on the host applications. Be careful
whenever you add or delete partition elements that include drives, storage magazines, and I/E
