NOTE:
This type of configuration may not apply to all supported storage components and serves only as an
example.
The following steps are an example of a storage configuration using an HP Smart Array-based storage
component.

Step 1: Create disk arrays

1. Click Array Management on the Disks tab.
2. Click Array Configuration Utility, and then log in to the management page in another browser
window.
The Array Configuration Utility starts.
3. Select the proper array controller in the left pane of the interface before beginning array
configuration. Some storage servers are equipped with array controllers for both internal and
external storage.
Consult the help available in ACU for details on creating arrays, if necessary.

Step 2: Create logical disks from the array space

From the ACU:
1. Select a previously created array.
2. Click Create Logical Drive in the right pane of the ACU.
3. Complete the Logical Drive Creation wizard to designate some or all of the array space as a logical
disk.
Depending on how many physical disks are included in the array, several different types of logical disks
are possible. Consult the ACU help for details on creating logical disk drives.

Step 3: Verify newly created logical disks

1. Click Disks on the Disk tab.
2. Verify that disks matching the newly created sizes are displayed.
3. Click Initialize Disk to initialize the disk.
NOTE:
By default the disk is basic. Click Convert Disk to make the disk dynamic.

Step 4: Create a volume on the new logical disk

1. Click Create New Volume.
