Arbitrated Loop Configurations
4. Repeat step 3 for each new Symmetrix device.
cfdisk is a curses-based disk partition table manipulator for Linux
that is used instead of fdisk.) If used with the -z option, cfdisk allows
the device’s partition table to be zeroed out. The use of cfdisk -z is
required if you are converting a device previously used by another
host.
Example:
cfdisk -z /dev/sdb
The resulting display would be similar to the following:
CAUTION
!
Changing the partition table results in loss of any previous data.
Select [New]. The following options appear at the bottom of the
window:
[Primary] [Logical] [Cancel]
Select [Primary] to create a primary Linux partition and select the size
of the partition that is required.
In this case, to use the entire device, select:
Size (in MB): 4314.34
cfdisk 0.8n
Disk Drive: /dev/sdb
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 550
