Administrator Guide

Please note that you can also simply drag and drop disks, partitions or RAIDs to the LVM icon in order to edit LVM contents.

Deleting LVMs

You can easily delete any of the LVMS by selecting Delete menu item in its popup menu.

LVMs Properties

Another way to control what an LVM consists of is to use its properties dialog. Select the Properties menu item of any LVM to see the dialog. The General tab lets you know about free and used space of an LVM. The second one called Components allows to manage disks, RAIDs and partitions of the LVM. This is another way to add or remove components of LVM. Remember, that all changes are applied on a server only after you press the Apply button.
