https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/creating-new-ldev-in-xp-1024/m-p/4721131#M36381 Hi,<BR />we have an XP 1024 used for testing environment and I'd like to practise a little, you know, to learn how to do basic things on this array. I have basic skills in SAN, was able to create new lun in older va7400 disk array, but here it seems like a more complex task :). <BR /><BR />On the remote web console, I can see on the status that approximatelly 30% of all LDEV's are unassigned. Does this mean that 30% of all storage is ready to be allocated / used for some hosts?<BR /><BR />My next question is, how can I create new LDEV, so I can assign it to any host? I was reading some manuals (<A href="http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02250809/c02250809.pdf)" target="_blank">http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02250809/c02250809.pdf)</A> , does it have to do something with 'adding a new path'? It has to be configured in 'LUN Management/ security' icon, right?<BR /><BR />Thank you very much for your answers Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:32:48 GMT g3jza 2010-12-02T18:32:48Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/creating-new-ldev-in-xp-1024/m-p/4721131#M36381 Hi,<BR />we have an XP 1024 used for testing environment and I'd like to practise a little, you know, to learn how to do basic things on this array.
