Perform the following steps using the IBM DS Storage Manager or DSCLI to create the VSS_FREE and VSS_RESERVED pools:

Note: If you are using the DSCLI you must perform these steps in order.

1.Create a volume group with the name ″VSS_FREE″ or another name, of the same type as your Windows Server 2003 host, for example: SCSI Map 256.

2.Create a virtual hostconnect on the storage unit named ″VSS_FREE″ or another name, with the following parameters:

a.-profile ″Intel - Windows 2003″

b.-addrdiscovery LUNPolling

c.-volgrpWhere volgrp is volume group created in step 1.

d.-wwname 5000000000000000

3.Create a volume group with the name ″VSS_RESERVED″ or another name, of the same type as your Windows Server 2003 host, e.g. SCSI Map 256.

4.Create a virtual hostconnect on the storage unit named

″VSS_RESERVED″ or another name, with the following parameters:

a.-profile ″Intel - Windows 2003″

b.-addrdiscovery LUNPolling

c.-volgrpWhere volgrp is volume group created in step 3.

d.-wwname 5000000000000001

5.Create and assign free volumes to the VSS_FREE volume group.

Note: If you already have volumes that are created for the VSS_FREE virtual host, you must assign those volumes to VSS_FREE.
