Management Tasks
After the prerequisite tasks are done, you are ready to perform other storage
management tasks such as:
■
Configure additional system and network settings (see Chapter 4,
Configuring Your System and Network). You can change these when
something about your system changes (location, system administrator,
new user or group mappings). See .
■
Manage your storage (see Chapter 5, Managing Your Storage). Most
storage settings were properly set during setup. You will need to change
them if you change your storage configuration or if you choose options
such as renaming/adding arrays or working with snapshots. Make sure
you understand storage concepts before proceeding. See “Understanding
Physical and Logical Storage” on page 21 for more information.
