5. To further narrow down the volumes, use filtering.
In the list of volumes, from the pull-down list for an item, select the value that corresponds to the desired
volumes. The volumes that meet the selected value are selected from the displayed volumes.
6. Select the allocated volume checkbox.
Note that you can select a maximum of 200 volumes at any one time. If you want to select more than 200
volumes, select them in multiple operations. For example, if you want to select 240 volumes, select 200
volumes in one operation, and the remaining 40 in another operation. Also, if a volume is related to more
than one volume path, the total number of selectable volumes decreases according to the number of
related paths. For example, if every volume is related to two volume paths, the number of selectable
volumes decreases to approximately 100.
7. Click the Allocate Storage button. The Device Manager’s Add Storage (Step: Define Host/Port
Connections) dialog box is displayed.
