Creating a Container

Before creating containers, make sure the disks for the container are
connected and installed in your server (or enclosure). To create a
container you select the disks to be used in the container and then
assign the container properties.
Note: You cannot use the CCU to create a container on a
shared channel.
To select one or more disks to be used in the container:
1
Shut down and reboot the server.
2
At the BIOS prompt Press <Ctrl><A> for Configuration Utility!
press Ctrl A.
3
Select Container Configuration Utility from the menu.
4
Select Create Container from the CCU menu.
5
Use the Left/Right arrow keys to select a channel.
6
Select the disks for the new container and press Insert. CCU
displays the largest usable freespace available for each disk.
You can use available freespace from multiple disks for the
new container.
To deselect any disk, highlight the disk and press Delete.
Note:
The CCU does not reliably find disks or
enclosures that were powered up after system power-
up.
Note:
Any disks with DOS partitions, disks with no
usable space, or uninitialized disks (See Initializing a
Disk Drive on page B-6) will appear dimmed and
cannot be used for creating a new container.
7
Press Enter when all disks for the new container are selected.
The Container Properties menu displays.
