Default CPGs
The setup process automatically creates default CPGs on your HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage system. The CPGs that are created depend on your HP 3PAR storage system’s drive
types, number of drive cages, and RAID types, as described in the following table.

Using Default CPGs
•
To use SmartStart to create basic storage, assign the default CPG to the virtual volumes
you create.
•
To create a new CPG, install and use the HP 3PAR Management Console (see SmartStart
wizard step 7, Install the HP 3PAR Management Console).
3.
Export virtual volumes. When you export (present) virtual volumes to a host, you make the
volumes accessible to the host. The host system can then perform read/write operations on
the exported virtual volumes on your HP 3PAR storage system.
4.
Configure virtual volumes. In addition to creating storage, you must configure the exported
virtual volumes on your Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 host system so
the host system can use these volumes. The Add Virtual Volumes to Windows wizard, accessed
from SmartStart wizard step 6, Configure storage, guides you through configuring virtual
volumes on a Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 host system.
For more information about creating storage or to set up advanced storage parameters, use the
HP 3PAR Management Console. To install the HP 3PAR Management Console, go to SmartStart
wizard step 7, Install the HP 3PAR Management Console.
NOTE:
If SmartStart detects that you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8, the Add virtual volumes
to Windows link on step 6, Configure storage is disabled. For more information on adding virtual
volumes, refer to the HP 3PAR Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation
Guide.
