1361.2 Binding Logical DiskTo create a logical disk, 2-step procedure consisting of RANK bind and LD bind isrequired.The RANK bind requires the specification of a RAID level. Select the RAID levelcarefully because it has certain influences on system performance and capacity. SeeSection 2.5 "RAID Configuration" for details.The LD bind requires the specification of capacity. The specified capacity defines thenumber of logical disks in a single RANK. Select the capacity carefully because theunused area remaining may affect the performance on the capacity. See Chapter 11"Logical Disk Capacity" in Appendix A for details.See "Several Settings on PD (RANK and LD Bindings" in the "Guide to SettingConfiguration of NEC Storage Manager" for how to use the management software (NECStorage Manager).Example: Creation of logical disk 0 of the maximum capacity in 36GB HDD of RAID 5(6+P)• Creation of RANKSelect "1. RANK Bind" from the management software (NEC Storage Manager)menu and enter the values of the parameters as follows to bind the RANK:Parameter Type = sRaid Type = 5Number of PD = 7Number of RANK = 1Rebuilding Time = 10• Creation of LDSelect "4. LD Bind" from the management software (NEC Storage Manager)menu and enter the values of the parameters as follows to bind the logical disk:Parameter Type = sPDG No. = 0RANK No. = 0LD Capacity = 204520Number of LD = 1Format Time = 0
