Introduction
To map external volumes, you may want to use spreadsheets instead of the Remote Web Console
GUI. For example, when you want to map many external volumes at a time, using spreadsheets
shortens the operation time compared to when using the GUI. You can import spreadsheets directly
to the storage system using CFL Extension.
Figure 39 (page 101) describes the work flow when you use spreadsheets.
Figure 39 Work Flow for Using Spreadsheets
