If the specified LUN contains partitions, an error message is displayed on the partition desktop, reporting that the LUN is not empty. The following options are also displayed:
Install the new image to the LUN
If you want to erase the contents on the LUN and install the new image on LUN, select this option, and then select OK.
Only configure the HBA port
If you only want to configure the partition to have boot access to the LUN and not overwrite the existing content on the LUN, select this option, and then select OK.
Typically, this option is used when creating a backup partition for high availability purposes. To prevent corruption of data on the LUN on the external storage device, the initial state of the partition is set to Stopped.
(Linux only) Exit the script
If you want to exit the script so that you can run other applications for troubleshooting purposes, select this option, and then select OK.
Abort commissioning the partition
If you want to stop commissioning a partition on the LUN, select this option, and then select OK. Be sure to use Fabric Manager to decommission the non-functional partition.
Note: For some options on a Linux partition, the installation script displays additional information at the bottom of the console window.
