BL460 G7 and Logical volumes

Torben was looking to help a customer:

 

*******************

 

Hi

 

I have a customer, who is trying to create 3 logical volumes on their BL460 G7 servers

 

Both if you use Smart start or ACU you can only create 2 logical volumes, the button create logical volume, disappears after the creating of the second volume

 

Do we need Cache or license keys to make more logical volumes ???

 

**********************

 

Hiro had some info:

Hi Torben,

 

Does your customer add cache memory module?

If your customer use Smart Array with zero memory, you can create only 2 logical volumes.

Logical Drives Supported

Zero Memory, Up to 2 logical volumes
256MB cache and greater, Up to 64 logical volumes

Good info for Torben. Any other comments or suggestions?
