Associating a storage pool entry with a logical server
When you create a logical server, you can select a storage pool entry as the storage configuration
for the logical server by performing the following steps from the Create→Logical Server...
storage configuration screen.
1. Select a storage pool entry from the drop-down menu. Only entries whose operating system
matches the operating system specified for the logical server will be available for selection.
The drop-down menu is empty if no pool entries have been previously defined, or if you
have not checked Ready next to a server WWN in the Manage Server WWNs table on the
SAN Storage Pool Entry screen.
2. Press the Insert Pool Entry button to assign the selected storage pool entry to the storage
configuration for the logical server. After you insert a pool entry into the logical server
storage configuration, you can view the entry by pressing View in the Actions column of
the Storage Entries table.
Figure 6-9 Associate storage pool entry with logical server
You can add a storage pool entry later, and modify the storage configuration for the logical server
to associate the storage pool entry to it using the Modify→Logical Server... menu selection.
Adding a storage pool entry using the Modify→Logical Server Storage Pools... menu selection
inserts the storage pool entry into the drop-down menu.
NOTE: If you create a logical server, insert its storage configuration into the storage pool, then
modify the logical server, catalog storage options are not available on the Modify Logical Server
storage tab. Catalog storage options are available only on the Storage Pool Entry: SAN screen.
Defining a SAN storage pool entry
Whether you are defining a storage entry during logical server creation or defining a storage
pool entry, the process of defining and creating storage is essentially the same. An exception is
that catalog storage options are displayed only on the storage pool entry screen.
Perform the following steps to define a SAN or RDM storage pool entry.
