Chapter 10. The DS Storage Manager - logical configuration 211
In the example shown in Figure 10-22, the radio button is checked to allow specific host
attachments for selected storage image I/O ports only. The check box has also been selected
to show the recommended location view for the attachment.
10.3 The logical configuration process
We recommend that you configure your storage environment in the following order. This does
not mean that you have to follow this guide exactly. You can get the same results by following
a different order, as long as you define your storage complex, unit, and images first. This is
only a suggestion.
10.3.1 Configuring a storage complex
To create the storage complex, expand the Manage Hardware (1) section, click Storage
Complexes
(2), click Create from the Select Action (3) pull-down and click Go (4), as shown
in Figure 10-23. Follow the panel directions with each advancing panel.
Figure 10-23 View of the Select Action pull-down menu with Create, selected
