Configuring Logical Disks And Pools - NEC D3 Quick Start Manual

Configuring Logical Disks and Pools

In case the step to bind logical disks was skipped during the array initialization, if the logical disks that were
created are not visible from an application server, or if a new application server is being added to the array,
logical disks or pools may need to be created and bound to that specific server or cluster through the
Configuration Settings wizards available in the Storage Manager client.
Creating and Configuring Pools
The first step in creating a set of logical drives is to create a pool for those logical drives to be assigned to. The
following process illustrates how to configure an individual pool. For more information on the pool configuration
process, please refer to the documentation that accompanied your array.
1. Navigate to the Storage Manager
network address in an Internet Explorer
window, and then log in to the client
with an account that has administrative
privileges.
2. Select the array where logical disks and
pools need to be created, click File,
highlight Configuration
Settings/References, and then click
Configuration Setting.
3. A window will appear warning you that
array monitoring will be stopped while
configuration settings are being
adjusted. Click Yes to continue.
4. At the Configuration Setting menu, you
can view basic array information and
configure basic array functionality.
To create an individual pool from the
Configuration Setting menu, click
Storage Configuration Setting.
Note: For more information about the
other configuration options available
through the Configuration Settings
menu, please refer to the
documentation on the Storage Manager
installation CD.
