Initializing the V-VOL Management Area or Pool Management Block
This section describes how to initialize the whole V-VOL management area or the pool management
block in the V-VOL management area.
Initializing the V-VOL Management Area
By initializing the whole V-VOL management area, the V-VOL management area can be used much more
efficiently. Therefore, you will be able to create a pool whose capacity is larger than before initializing,
or you will be able to create more pools compared to before the initialization.
You need to delete all pools in the storage system in order to initialize the V-VOL management area.
If pools exist in the storage system, only the pool management block will be initialized instead of
the whole V-VOL management area. For details about initializing the pool management block, see
“ Initializing Pool Management Block ” on page 58.
To initialize the V-VOL management area:
1. Change the mode of the Remote Web Console to Modify.
If the mode is already changed to Modify, you can skip this step. For information on how to
change the mode, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
2. Click Initialize in the Pool window.
A confirmation message is displayed asking if it is OK to initialize the V-VOL management
area or the pool management block.
3. Click OK.
A confirmation message is displayed asking if it is OK to cancel all the operations performed
in the Pool window.
4. Click OK.
The confirmation message is displayed asking if it is OK to apply the setting to the storage
system and perform the initialization.
5. Click OK.
The initialization of the V-VOL management area or the pool management block is performed.
