Creating stripe sets
You can create a new stripe set from back-end LUs with the status present. This status means that the
back-end LU is present on the SAN and accessible to VSM and the back-end LU has not been configured
as a member of a stripe set or storage pool.
The number of back-end LUs per stripe set is limited to 4. A stripe set must be added to a storage
pool before you can allocate the stripe set’s capacity to hosts. The total capacity of the stripe set is
limited to the number of member LUs times the capacity of the smallest member LU. The remaining
capacity is not available. Therefore, it is recommended that all members of a stripe set be of the same
size.
To create a stripe set:
1. In the navigation tree, expand the Entities node.
2. Right-click the Stripe Sets node.
3. Select New. The Create Stripe Set wizard opens to the Enter Stripe Set Parameters screen.

5. In the Comment field, enter any text you want.
