Note from table:

1The EMC Navisphere® CLI is required to communicate with the CLARiiON storage system. The CLARiiON storage system must be configured to recognized the management server as a privileged user. See EMC Navisphere CLI Is Required” on page 341 for more information.

2IBM and other storage systems that use external providers show raw capacity for a storage pool, instead of formatted capacity.

3The “Create Pool Using Settings” column refers to the functionality that lets you choose the type of pool, usually RAID level.
