Because this storage solution is running on a Microsoft Windows-based platform, the remaining steps would be familiar to a Windows administrator. These include assigning a drive letter for the internal server, providing a volume name, etc. These are prompted by using the standard Disk Management function from the management console.
The LUN has now been created. The next step is to create a partition on the LUN and format it in the normal manner that Windows administrators would expect.
We choose the maximum available size for the new partition. We want Windows to manage the entire partition as one entity.
The LUN is now ready for use. The next step will create iSCSI targets and associate them with this newly-created LUN.
