Note:
When you connect a TagmaStore AMS storage system or a TagmaStore WMS storage
system, use LUN Manager to set the data transfer speed of the external port which you use to a
fixed value other than the Auto. Also, set the data transfer speed of the target port of the
TagmaStore AMS storage system or the TagmaStore WMS storage system to the fixed value
according to the data transfer speed of the external port.
Mapping an External Volume Automatically
After setting the attribute of the port used for External Storage to the external port, you are enabled to

External volumes can be mapped either automatically or manually. This sec
