of disk area within your system to virtual disks. Virtual disks display as

available hard drives on your host. The

Virtual Disks Area link allows you

to dynamically create and delete virtual disks. The virtual disks link is

divided into the

Create Virtual Disks section and the Delete Virtual Disks

section.

uppercase alpha-numeric character and N is any single
