To avoid management outages for the working storage system, clone a virtual SVP image to an unregistered storage system.

  1. Prepare a master virtual SVP image:
    1. Create the virtual SVP using the procedure in Configuring the virtual SVP. You do not have to set up the network at this time.
    2. Configure the SVP guest OS using the procedure in Configuring the SVP guest OS.
    3. Install the SVP using the procedure in Completing the configuration. You do not have to configure the SVP IP address at this time. In addition, do not register a DKC using the Storage Device List.
  2. Turn off the master virtual SVP.
  3. Clone the master virtual SVP, and then start the cloned virtual SVP.
  4. Configure the Windows OS network information in the cloned virtual SVP.
  5. Set the IP address for the SVP. This IP address is used to communicate with the storage system.
  6. Register a storage system using the Storage Device List.
