Creating virtual disks
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to create a virtual disk on your managed system. Virtual disks are also known as logical volumes.
To create a virtual disk, complete the following steps in
the Integrated Virtualization Manager:
- In the navigation area, select View/Modify Virtual Storage under Virtual Storage Management. The View/Modify Virtual Storage page is displayed.
- On the Virtual Disks tab, click *Create Virtual Disk. The Create Virtual Disk page is displayed.
- Enter a virtual disk name, select a storage pool, and enter a size for the new virtual disk and click OK. Integrated Virtualization Manager creates the new virtual disk with your specifications, and the View/Modify Virtual Storage page is displayed.
- Repeat this procedure for each virtual disk that you want to create.
- To view or modify the properties of any virtual disks that you created, see Modifying virtual disks.
These steps are equivalent to using the mkbdsp command in the command-line interface.
If there is not enough disk space for the virtual disk, increase the size of the default storage pool. For instructions, see Modifying storage pools using the Integrated Virtualization Manager
