Description

  • In some scenarios, a particular disk might not be partitioned automatically or is partitioned with a wrong partition size
  • In this case, it requires manual re-partitioning

  • Partition sizes must not differ from those that the system was initialized with
  • Do not use this procedure for Flash Pool manual SSD partitioning
