Creating Multiple Volumes for a Server
The Create Volumes wizard creates multiple volumes and maps them to a server in a single
operation.
Note
Adding a volume to the volume list in the Create Volumes for Server wizard does not
cause the volume to be created. Volumes are only created when you select Create
Volumes Now.
To create volumes for a server
1 In the system tree, select a server, server cluster, or virtual server.
2 From the shortcut menu, select Create Volumes. The Create Volume window appears.
By default, the name of the volume is based on the name of the server.
