Adaptec Storage Manager begins to create the volume(s). The wizard closes. To
use the Job Manager to monitor the volume creation, see "Monitoring Jobs in
Progress" on page 109.
You can begin using the volume for storage immediately, without waiting for the
build/verify process to complete. For more information about volumes, see
"Creating and Modifying Volumes" on page 95.
To provision more storage, see "Step 5: Continuing to Build Your IP SAN" on
page 46.
Provisioning Storage Manually
Use this provisioning method for systems running any supported OS other
Note
than Windows 2003.
When you provision storage manually, you create a logical device in Adaptec Storage
Manager that becomes the iSCSI target accessed by an iSCSI initiator. Once a logical
device is created, you must log into it from the iSCSI initiator and format it the same
way you would format a physical disk drive. Once the logical device is logged into
and formatted, it can be used to store data.
In the wizard, if the Add iSCSI Storage Host window has opened automatically,
