HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 User Guide 607

When you first discover a storage system, no free extents are displayed. This is because the

management server puts all unmapped volumes into the “unmapped” category for the list of

volumes by default. To move a volume to the free extent node, delete the unmapped volume.

When the volume is deleted, it is moved to the free extents node. The free extents category is

used internally by the management server. See ”

Deleting a Storage Volume

” on page 550

for more information.

Keep in mind the following:
• Make sure the free extents you select are not being used. Data on the free extents becomes

unusable when a meta volume is created.

• You can narrow the type of volumes displayed in the Volumes pane by using the Customize

Volume Options dialog box ( ), located above the Volumes pane. See ”

Host Customize

Dialog Box

” on page 632.

NOTE:

The Customize Volume Options dialog box is not available for the HP EVA.

• If the LUN has already been selected and Step 4 is clicked, skip this step or click the

If you have options still selected from a previous job, clear the options you do not want in your
