Quick Setup (QS) - is intended to be the shortest path to configure up to 256/512 GB of storage.
QS does not offer the flexibility and breadth of space/performance/redundancy options that the
Advanced Setup (utilizing LUNs created via Command View SDM) does.
The "add storage..." feature of QS provides the ability to create Logical Volumes and related NFS
mount point and/or CIFS share of the size of your choice on a single Volume Group created by
Quick Setup.. QS does not provi de the ability to create a VG utilizing LUNs from multiple arrays.
Advanced Setup (AS) - provides the ability to create up to 256 VGs and up to 255 LVs and
mount points/shares dependent upon the configuration and number of LUNs that exist on the
array(s). AS relies upon having previously created LUNs via QS or, more preferably, via
Command View SDM.
Command View SDM – accessible from "Command View SDM" in the navigation tree of
the Storage tab from the Command View NAS. This tool offers the ability to manage your
storage at the lowest level (LUNs). It provides the ability to create, delete and manage
LUNs and all other Array specific management features. When performance, space or
specific configurations are required, configuration via Command View SDM is required.

Command Line

SAM – VGs, LVs and mountpoints may be created, but NFS exports and CIFS shares can't be
created in SAM. SAM is subject to a similar limitation as the GUI – LUNs cannot be created via
SAM. SAM is the most intuitive of the command line functions available to you, but can not
provide all the functionality needed.
Command View – a text-based version of Command View SDM. Running CVUI (located in
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin) provides a text-based, menu driven interface from the
command line with all of the storage management capabilities of Command View SDM.
LVM commands – pvcreate, vgcreate and others are LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
commands. LVM sits on top of UX and performs just what it's title says – manages (everything
