Solved!
Go to Solutioncreating 2gb device from 8GB hyper
Hello,
I looked in the cli guide and I need to validate if my create-dev file is correct.
I want to create a 2gb drive from an 8.632GB hyper, raid-10.
The geometry is standard, 1 cylinder = 15 tracks, .937 MB for each cylinder. So I am thinking I need 1 devices, 2200 cylinders.
Does this sound about right?
I have only created larger meta devices before and not a smaller device. No training, I am still a DMX newbie so any insight would be helpful.

Ok, should work out perfect... I have a cylinder to gigabyte calculator... But you have to have a DMX 3 or later storage device for this calculation.
If your storage array is earlier than DMX 3 then you will need a 4400 cylinder device due geometry changes within the arrays technologies.
Good Luck!
