The ASC Server detects new devices when you connect to it. When they are
detected you will see a dialog box notifying you of the new devices. At this
point you can highlight a device and press the
Prepare Disk
button to prepare
it.
At any time, you can prepare a single unassigned device by doing the
following: Highlight the device, right-click, select
Properties
and select the
device category. (You can find all unassigned devices under the
Physical
Resources Adapters
node of the tree view.)
For multiple unassigned devices, highlight
Physical Resources
, right-click and
select
Prepa e Disks
. This launches a wizard that allows you to virtualize,
unassign, or import multiple devices at the same time.
