Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Deployment Guide

Configuring storage setup

The Storage Setup wizard guides you through each step of creating disk groups and pools in preparation for attaching hosts and volumes.

NOTE:You can cancel the wizard at any time, but the changes that are made in completed steps are saved.
Access the Storage Setup wizard from the Welcome panel or by choosing Action > Storage Setup. When you access the wizard, you must select the storage type for your environment. After selecting a storage type, you are guided through the steps to create disk groups and pools. The panels that are displayed and the options within them are dependent upon:
  • Whether you select a virtual or linear storage type
  • Whether the system is brand new (all disks are empty and available and no pools have been created)
  • Whether the system has any pools
  • Whether you are experienced with storage provisioning and want to set up your disk groups in a certain way

On-screen directions guide you through the provisioning process.
