Revision 1.0
PRELIMINARY
on these disks is reserved or preloaded with system data, and as a result, is not
available for your data. If you combine operating system disks in a disk pool with
other disks, each of the other disks loses space for your data equal to the system
data space on an operating system disk.
STEP 4. Create one or more virtual disks on each disk pool.
A virtual disk is a grouping of disk partitions into one span of disk storage space.
Each virtual disk you create is distributed equally across the disks in the disk pool.
A virtual disk looks like an individual disk to the server s operating system. Each
disk pool supports 128 virtual disks.
In the Navisphere Express navigation pane, under Manage, click Virtual Disks. For details
on creating a virtual disk, use the Navisphere Express Help Center.
If you want to connect additional servers to the storage system, you can create virtual
disks for them now. You have to wait until the servers are connected and registered before
you can assign these virtual disks to them.
STEP 5. Assign one or more virtual disks to the server.
To send data to or receive data from the virtual disks, you must assign the virtual
disks to a server.
In the Navisphere Express navigation pane, under Manage, click Virtual Disks. For details
on assigning a virtual disk to a server, use the Navisphere Express Help Center.
STEP 6. Verify that the virtual disks were assigned to the server by viewing the Manage Servers
page.
In the Navisphere Express navigation pane, under
Manage, click Servers.
You should see the virtual disks you assigned to the server listed in the
Virtual Disks
column of the server s row. If you do not see virtual disks, go the "Troubleshoot" section
on the sSSR212PP support website or the SSR212PP-Series Documentation CD.
STEP 7. Use the Event Notification page to configure the storage system to send an email message
when it encounters a problem.
In the Navisphere Express navigation pane, under
System, click Settings, and then click
Event Notification. For details on configuring the storage system to send email messages,
use the Navisphere Express Help Center.
STEP 8. On a Linux server,
a. Make the virtual disks visible:
For HBAs:
rmmod driver_module
modprobe driver_module (or insmod driver_module)
where driver_module is the driver module name.
