Creating a Disk Folder
A managed disk folder was created during installation and setup. A system should have
only one folder of managed disks. If additional disks are added to the system, they should
be added to the managed disk folder. Unassigned disks appear in the Unassigned Disk
folder.
Because Data Progression does not migrate storage across disk folders, a second disk
folder impacts the ability of Storage Center to maximize performance. Only in rare
circumstances do the benefits of multiple disk folders outweigh the disadvantages.
To create a disk folder
1 From the Storage Management menu, choose Disk > Folder > Create Disk Folder.
The Create Disk Folder wizard appears. If a disk folder already exists, the Create Disk
Folder window asks if you are sure you want to create a second disk folder.
