Step 6: Add Storage Disks

The Add Storage Disk wizard guides you through the steps of adding external storage disks to a managed system. The wizard lets you specify which file systems to define as storage disks. Once defined, storage disks can be used as a target media type when creating storage policies.

To display the Add Storage Disk Wizard at any time, on the Config menu, click Add Storage Disk. For more information about adding storage disks, see Chapter 10, “Managing Storage Disks,” in the StorNext User’s Guide.

Step 7: Add Storage Policy

The Add New Storage Policy Wizard guides you through the steps of adding disk-to-disk policy classes to a managed system. Storage policies allow data to be intelligently moved between disks (stripe groups) without affecting the file name space.

To display the Add New Storage Policy Wizard at any time, on the Config menu, click Add Storage Policy. For more information about adding storage policies, see Chapter 11, “Data Migration Management,” in the StorNext User’s Guide.

Step 8: E-Mail Notification

The E-mail Notification Wizard guides you through the steps of setting up e-mail notifications on the MDC. The wizard lets you specify the SMTP server to use for outgoing e-mail, and the addresses to which system alerts and notifications are sent. (Make sure the SMTP server is configured before setting up e-mail notifications.)

To display the E-mail Notification Wizard at any time, on the Config menu, click E-Mail Notification. For more information about setting up e-mail notifications disks, see Chapter 4 “Common StorNext Tasks,” in the StorNext User’s Guide.
