3. Volume
To complete this wizard, you will need the following information:
• A name for the management group.
• A storage system discovered on the network and then configured for RAID and the Network
settings
• DNS domain name, suffix, and server IP address for email event notification
• IP address or hostname and port of your email (SMTP) server for event notification
• A name for the cluster
• Virtual IP address to use for the cluster
• A name for the volume
• The size of the volume
NOTE: Names of management groups, clusters, volumes, and snapshots cannot be changed in
the future without deleting the management group.
Enabling server access to volumes
Create a server or server cluster to connect application servers to volumes. To create a server or
server cluster, you must first have created a management group, a cluster, and at least one volume.
You should also plan the following:
• The application servers that need access to volumes.
• The iSCSI initiator you plan to use. You need the server’s initiator name, and CHAP information
if you plan to use CHAP.
• For Fibre Channel access, have two Fibre Channel-enabled storage systems in the management
group.
See “Controlling server access to volumes” (page 202) for more information.
