Renaming storage subsystems

When you start Storage Manager 7 for the first time, the storage subsystems are
unnamed. If you want to rename them, you can use the Subsystem Management
window to rename each storage subsystem from unnamed to the name you want.
Refer to the renaming storage subsystems topic in the Subsystem Management
online Help. The Help topic provides detailed instructions for renaming storage
subsystems. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you protect the
storage subsystems with a password.
Continue with "Starting Subsystem Management".

Starting Subsystem Management

The Subsystem Management window enables you to manage selected subsystems.
Use the following procedure to open a Subsystem Management window for a
selected storage subsystem:
1. In the Enterprise Management window, select a storage subsystem.
2. Select Tools ⇒ Manage Device. The software displays the Subsystem
3. Continue with "Renaming storage subsystems".

Creating arrays and logical drives

To create an array or logical drive, perform the following procedure:
1. Highlight a storage subsystem in the Enterprise Management window and select
2. Create all of your planned arrays and logical drives on this storage subsystem
3. Repeat the arrays/logical drive configuration for each storage subsystem
4. Go to "Creating Quorum arrays and LUNs under the Storage Manager 7

When you begin this procedure, all drives display in an unconfigured state with one
massive size. To begin creating arrays and LUNS, right-click on Unconfigured
Capacity and select Create Array. Your choices will be Automatic or Manual,
depending on your requirements. Automatic-mode chooses drives vertically across
the duplicate storage management icon from the device tree using the remove
device option in the Enterprise Management window.

Subsystem Management window, you can manage only the selected storage
subsystem. However, you can open multiple Subsystem Management windows
to manage other storage subsystems.

Note: If you make any other logical drive additions or deletions, you must make
them known to the other node in a cluster configuration.
