HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide

A message confirms that the VMA Array was successfully initialized.

Viewing Containers

Once you have initialized the VMA Array, you can see the container created using

the

show containers

command.

1.

Log on as an administrator into the HP VMA SAN Gateway attached to Port 1

of the VMA Array.

Before a block media device can be used for block storage, it must be enabled.

Use the

media block id enable

command to enable the device.

2.

Enter into Config mode using the

configure terminal

command.

3.

Run the

media block id enable

command to enable all block

containers.

The

block

parameter ensures that you enable vSHARE devices and not

vCACHE devices. The

all

parameter ensures that every block container is

enabled.

4.

To verify the containers were created, run the

show containers

command

to view information about the containers.
