3. If there is no user input in the Storage window within an hour, you are
prompted to enter a password. Type the SWCC password in the Security
Check window and click OK.
The SWCC password was created when you installed the Agent. To change
the password, open the Agent Configuration utility on the agent system (host).
4. Select the type of virtual disk that you want to create, and click Next in the
Add Virtual Disk Wizard – Step 1 of 5 window.
5. Select the physical devices to include in the virtual disk by clicking them in
the Available Storage field in Add Virtual Disk Wizard – Step 2 of 5
window.
As you click a physical device, it is added to the Selected Devices field. If
you selected JBOD in the previous step, you can select only one device.
6. Click Next.
You see the Add Virtual Disk Wizard – Step 3 of 5 window.
7. Type the capacity of the virtual disk in the Capacity for Virtual Disk field,
and click Next in the Add Virtual Disk Wizard – Step 3 of 5 window. This
window provides you with the maximum and minimum megabytes that you
can choose for a capacity.
8. Type the unit number, operating parameters, and options for the virtual disk,
and then click Next. To save the controller configuration, choose the Save
controller configuration to virtual disk setting in the Add Virtual Disk
Wizard – Step 4 of 5 window.
Note: Saving the configuration to disk in a redundant controller configuration is not
supported and can cause unexpected controller behavior.
Virtual disks based on partitions on any container are all closely related because they
all share the same target and operating parameters of the container. If you change
any of this information for one partition on the container, all the partitions on that
container are changed.
9. The Add Virtual Disk Wizard – Step 5 of 5 window – displays the
selections that you made in steps 1-4.
10. If you are satisfied with your choices, click Finish to create the virtual disk.
