Figure 7-26 on page 275 shows an example of the selection for disk units to use
in the partition. You can use virtual disks or physical disks. For an IBM i partition

that you have previously configured LUNs or have physical units available to
assign to this partition.

you can select either:
a. A LUN that is already configured for the IBM i 6.1 partition from the list of
Available Physical Volumes.
b. Or a disk provided from the VIO Server to the IBM i 6.1 partition from the
list Available Virtual Disks. This disk may have been created from a
storage pool.
