• Manual: Follow these steps to manually start the wizard:

a. On the Advanced Operations menu, click Configuration using Application Templates.
b. If you have multiple subsystems, the Select a Subsystem dialog box prompts you to select the

storage subsystem you want to configure. Select your subsystem, and then click OK.
If the selected subsystem already has logical disks containing data, Simple SAN Connection

Manager displays a message warning that the storage subsystem will be uninitialized and all

logical disks and their data will be deleted.

c. To acknowledge the warning, uninitialize the storage subsystem, delete all logical disks, and

start the Storage Deployment wizard, type YES, and then click OK. To abandon this deployment,

click Cancel.

Simple SAN Connection Manager loads the storage templates and launches the wizard. If the storage

subsystem is an HP EVA, the window shown in

Figure 93

opens; proceed with

step 2

. If the storage

subsystem is an HP MSA, this wizard window is not shown; skip to

step 3

.

is dynamically created by Simple SAN Connection Manager based on the list of files detected in the

templates

folder.
