Managing Your Storage - HP StorageWorks 8000 - NAS User Manual

Managing Your Storage

To set up your storage, you need to implement your plan. You do so in the
Storage tab.
Note You must completely configure your NAS server before you
attempt to set up your storage. For more information, refer to
HP Surestore NAS 8000 Installation Guide or access the
the
Configuration Wizard in the Configuration tab.
In the Storage tab, you must:
Create Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs). A unique number that identifies a
I
specific unit of storage, a LUN logically organizes physical disk space for
storage use. You can have one or more LUNs on the array depending
upon your storage requirements. If you have a SAN, you can not create
LUNs.
Aggregate your LUNs into one or more volume groups. Volume groups
I
can span several LUNs, even those that are on separate arrays.
Partition your volume groups into file volumes.
I
Create directories and sub-directories beneath your file volumes to further
I
organize your data.
Make file volumes or directories available to users by sharing or exporting
I
them.

View, scan for, and rename arrays
