Disk Device Labeler

Chapter 4 Configuring StorNext

Windows Configuration Utilities

The Disk Device Labeler utility lets you configure StorNext File System storage area network (SAN) disks. Use the Disk Device Labeler to create a list of disk labels, associated device names, and (optional) the sectors to use.

Note: Run the Disk Device Labeler on a system that has visibility to all disk devices on the SAN.

The file system uses the volume labels to determine which disk drives to use. The label name written to a disk device must match the disk name specified in the Server Configuration utility. For more information, see Server Configuration on page 96.

Caution: Modifying the label of a system disk may render the system inoperable and require you to repair the volume. Only label disk devices that are intended for use with the StorNext File System SAN.

To run the Disk Device Labeler utility, on the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > StorNext File System > Disk Device Labeler. The Disk Labeler window (figure 41) appears.
