Re: incorrect size of partitions
Yes, I have 2 cards and they are connected to Port0 on both controllers. The MSA has 2 enclosures (12x300GB SAS disks) and (12x750GB SATA disks) On the SATA disks the initialization is still running, however, the SAS initialization is complete. Moreover, can you please guide me on how to configure the SATA drives with the windows server and how to configure multipath for it?

Re: incorrect size of partitions
You will have to use parted to handle this. Eg. Login as root then type:
parted
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) mkpart primary 0 1300000
(parted) quit
This will create approximately 1.3TB
BECAREFUL when using parted. It writes directly to the disk.
To learn more on the syntax of the parted command check this out:
