Volume Creation and LUN Security

Keep in mind the following:

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

next job. For example, assume you created a volume. Now you want to create a new volume on
the same host used previously. Clear the Volume pane. To clear a pane, click the button.

If you want to clear all the steps, except for the Step 1 (storage systems), select another option

from the System Action combo-box.

HDS only: Before you can create a volume, you must delete some unmapped LDEVs using the

standard provisioning tool.

To delete LDEVs:
a. Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Provisioning Manager.
b. Click the Storage Systems tab, then the Provision button for the storage system.
c. Click Step 2 Volume.
d. Select the desired number of LDEVs for the LUSE volume, and then click Delete Selected

Volumes.

e. Take note of the array group from which you deleted the LDEVs. You need this information to

create the LUSE volume.
