While working through the wizard, you need to have ready the following information:
• A name for the management group.
NOTE:
This name cannot be changed in the future without destroying the management group.
• A storage system that you identified with the Find wizard and then configured
• DNS domain name, suffix, and server IP address for email event notification
• IP address or hostname and port of your email (SMTP) server for event notification
• A name for the cluster
• VIP to use for the cluster
• A name for the volume
• The size of the volume

Enabling server access to volumes

Use the Assign Volume and Snapshot wizard to prepare the volume for server access. You set up
application servers in the management group, then assign volumes to the servers. See
16 on page 257 for a complete discussion of these functions.
To work through the Assign Volume and Snapshot wizard, you must first have created a management
group, cluster, and at least one volume. You should also plan the following:
• The application servers that need access to volumes.
• The iSCSI initiator you plan to use. You need the server's initiator system name, and CHAP inform-
ation if you plan to use CHAP.
