Creating a storage unit (simulated only)

Complete this task to create a simulated storage unit and to specify its attributes and properties.

1. In the navigation, select Simulated manager > Manage hardware > Storage units.
2. From the Select Action menu, select Create..., and then click Go. The Create Storage Unit — General storage unit information page is displayed.
3. In the General storage unit information page, you must specify the machine type and nickname. The other fields are optional. You can enter the Select storage complex value now or modify the storage unit properties later. If you want to create a new storage complex, click the Create new storage complex button. The new complex is listed for your selection after you finish the creation wizard process.
4. Click Next to continue.
5. The Create Storage Unit — Specify DDM packs page is displayed. You must specify the Quantity of DDM packs and the DDM type. Click Add, and then click Next to continue. The Define licensed function page is displayed.

   The Operating Environment License (TB) value is the total amount of capacity in the box. If you specify more than one storage unit, the license is split equally between the two storage units.

7. If you specified a license for the FlashCopy or Remote Mirror and Copy functions, you must specify the storage type (FB, CKD, or All types) for each of the Copy Services functions. Once you have defined the storage type, click Next.
8. The Verification page is displayed. Use this page to review the established attributes and verify that they are correct. If the attributes and values are not correct, click Back as appropriate to return and specify the correct values. Otherwise, click Finish to complete the storage unit creation process.
