Perform vendor-specific steps to configure the appliance. Use the vendor's
processes and procedures to configure the appliance so that it works with your
environment. To configure the storage, you may be required to do the following:
Assign the appliance a name. NetBackup uses the name to identify the
appliance.
Divide the appliance into one or more logical units of space. NetBackup
refers to these logical units as disk volumes. NetBackup aggregates the disk
volumes into disk pools.
