If storage is not yet configured and provisioned for the system, this panel provides configuration options to configure your storage. Configuration options include the storage type, setting up SupportAssist, and configuring storage.
To initially configure storage, select the storage type using either the
Virtual or
Linear radio button. A tooltip describing these two settings is provided on the Storage panel.
If you selected Virtual as the storage type, you can select
Auto Storage Setup to easily configure storage using the wizard. If you selected Linear as the storage type, the
Auto Storage Setup option is not available.
The
Auto Storage Setup button (Maintenance > Storage) opens the Auto Storage Setup dialog box. This dialog box provides information for the selected storage type, including the configuration suggestions.
For virtual pools, the dialog is divided into discrete sections:
Disk health with Rescan link
Disk groups table (with applicable configuration settings)
Spares table
Unused disks (if any)
The
Apply Configuration and
Cancel actions provide control over the automated configuration process.
For linear storage, a single storage pool contains all disk groups. The storage system provides a Pools container that includes disk groups and a Spares container.
The Storage panel
(Maintenance > Storage) shows the system storage configuration, including pools, disk groups, and spares (non-ADAPT disk groups only) and enables you to change the configuration. See also
Pools and
Spares.
