The following workflow shows the tasks you must complete before using the provisioning functions.
Note: The software retrieves and displays any
resources that already exist in the storage system.
Complete the following to configure a storage system:
- Set port security: Port security must be set based on
the port type.
- For Fibre/Fibre with SCSI mode ports or iSCSI ports, enable port security to use the provisioning functions.
- For Fibre with NVMe mode ports, disable port security to use the provisioning functions.
- Create parity groups so you
can create pools. Note: You cannot create or modify parity groups for VSP One Block, but you can view them.
To create or modify parity groups for configuring a pool, you must use VSP One Block Administrator. The pool configuration workflow in VSP One Block Administrator automatically handles the parity groups setup. For a detailed procedure, see Creating a pool.
- Create pools so you can create volumes.
