This procedure designates a disk as a reserved disk. A reserved disk is not considered part of the free space pool. If you perform a task that requires disk space and you do not specify a disk, the Storage Administrator allocates space from disks other than the reserved disk.

To reserve a disk

  1. Follow the instructions in “Adding a Disk to the Volume Manager” to place the disk under Volume Manager control and in a disk group.

  2. Select the disk to be reserved.

  3. Choose Disks > Properties (Selected menu).

  4. In the Disk Properties window, go to the General tab and select Reserve. Click OK.

    If you decide that you want to return a reserved disk to the free space pool, open the Disk Properties window and click Reserve again.

    Notes:

    • A reserved disk does not belong to the free space pool and is not available for general use.

    • A reserved disk can only be used if you specify the reserved disk when you perform a task.
