That would be something the storage administrator would do for you. The terminology they use is LUN (Logical Unit Number). In a lot of cases, to make their job easier, they just define a large number of same-sized LUNs (say 8GB or so), and then assign as many of those to you as you need to make up the total amount of storage you want. It's then up to you to aggregate them into larger chunks using software RAID or LVM. Sometimes you'll run into a storage administrator who's willing to set up the LUNs to be the size you really need, and give you that.
