Verify or configure RAID and configure network settings
Verify the RAID configuration on your storage systems before creating a
management group. You can only reconfigure RAID on storage systems that are in
the Available Systems pool. Change network settings, including bonding NICs,
before creating a management group.

Verify software version is up to date
Use the "Check for Updates" to update your software to the latest version.

Use the Management Groups, Clusters and Volumes wizard to set up the storage
configuration and create a storage volume.

or Hyper-V Server for automated failover configurations or multi-site SANs.
6 Download and install iSCSI initiator(s)
Install the appropriate iSCSI initiator on your application servers.

Enable 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, and then assign
volumes to the servers.
