Using the SVM GUI to Manage Virtual Storage
This section provides general instructions for creating storage pools and virtual volumes, creating groups of HBAs, called UDHs (user defined hosts), and assigning a storage device profile to a UDH. For more information, see the StoreAge documentation.
NOTE: This information is provided for your convenience. For additional details about the SVM GUI, see the StoreAge documentation. If there are differences between the StoreAge documentation and this installation and configuration guide, follow the StoreAge documentation.
To create storage pools:
1.Open the SVM GUI, and open Volume Manager in tree view.
2.Click Pool, click Create, and then select the physical disks that you want to include in the pool.
WARNING!! This step removes the data on the physical disks that are added to the pool. Once a physical disk is added to a pool, the SVM GUI controls that disk. The data on disks that are not in a pool are not subject to this issue.
NOTE: When you create the first storage pool, you are prompted to provide a domain name that identifies the management domain for the SVM appliance. Enter a domain name, and then click the Submit button to commit the new name to the configuration.
3.Enter a name for the pool, and then click Continue.
