Creating a storage complex (simulated only)

Complete this task to create a simulated storage complex and to specify its nickname and storage unit assignments.

  1. In the navigation, select Simulated manager > Manage hardware > Storage complexes.
  2. From the Select Action menu, select Create..., and then click Go. The Create Storage Complex — Define properties page is displayed.
  3. If a storage unit is not already defined, you must specify a nickname, which is limited to 16 characters. The other fields are optional.
    1. The Available and Selected Storage units fields are not required when you create the storage complex. You can enter this value now or modify the storage complex properties later. Additionally, you can select this storage complex when you create a storage unit. You must, however, create an association between a storage complex and a storage unit at some point before you download or upload configurations to or from the storage unit.
    2. If you select the Create new storage unit button, the new storage unit is available for selection after you complete the create storage unit process.
  4. After you have defined the properties, click Next to continue. The Verification page is displayed.
  5. Use the Verification page to review the established attributes and verify that they are correct. If the attributes and values are not correct, click Back to return and specify the correct values. Otherwise, click Finish to complete the storage complex creation process.

If you are setting up the DS Storage Manager, return to Setting up the DS Storage Manager and complete the rest of the steps.
