NOTE: View the World Wide Unique Lun ID on the storage LUN list (on the System screen) to identify which LUNs are associated with each array. e. Use the Format check box to indicate whether the selected LUNs are initialized (formatted) when added to the pool. NOTE: Do not format the LUNs when manually creating previously existing pools after performing a disaster recovery of the primary node. If you do not format the LUN, all cartridge data in that pool is retained. f. Click Finish to add the LUNs to the pool. 3. If you started with an unconfigured device (i.e., no LUNS added to any storage pools) before you added LUNs to the storage pools, you need to reboot the device to enable the new storage pools. The pool is now ready to have cartridges created. NOTE: If you created storage pools on a LUN that already contained cartridges, update the Allocated Capacity numbers. To do this, select Cartridges from the system navigation tree, then select View for the All listing. Destroying Storage Pools Command View VLS allows you to destroy a specific storage pool or all storage pools. Systems with deduplication enabled must enter Maintenance Mode (using Restart Emulations in Maintenance Mode from the task bar) before destroying any storage pools. Maintenance Mode reboots the system with deduplication disabled and the front fibre ports down. After destroying the storage pools, you need to reboot the device again to return to normal operation. NOTE: If there are cartridges in the pool or pools when they are destroyed, emulations will restart. To avoid this restart, delete all cartridges from the pool prior to deleting the pool. (see "Destroying Cartridges" (page 107)). To delete a single storage pool: 1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See "Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser" (page 79). 2. In the Storage tab navigation tree, select the pool to delete (listed under Storage Pools). 3. From the task bar, select Destroy Storage Pool. The Confirm Destroy window is displayed (Figure 8 (page 31)). 30 Storage Configuration

NOTE:
View the
World Wide Unique Lun ID
on the storage LUN list (on the System
screen) to identify which LUNs are associated with each array.
e.
Use the
Format
check box to indicate whether the selected LUNs are initialized (formatted)
when added to the pool.
NOTE:
Do not format the LUNs when manually creating previously existing pools after
performing a disaster recovery of the primary node. If you do not format the LUN, all
cartridge data in that pool is retained.
f.
Click
Finish
to add the LUNs to the pool.
3.
If you started with an unconfigured device (i.e., no LUNS added to any storage pools) before
you added LUNs to the storage pools, you need to reboot the device to enable the new storage
pools.
The pool is now ready to have cartridges created.
NOTE:
If you created storage pools on a LUN that already contained cartridges, update the
Allocated Capacity numbers. To do this, select
Cartridges
from the system navigation tree, then
select
View
for the
All
listing.
Destroying Storage Pools
Command View VLS allows you to destroy a specific storage pool or all storage pools.
Systems with deduplication enabled must enter Maintenance Mode (using Restart Emulations in
Maintenance Mode from the task bar) before destroying any storage pools. Maintenance Mode
reboots the system with deduplication disabled and the front fibre ports down. After destroying
the storage pools, you need to reboot the device again to return to normal operation.
NOTE:
If there are cartridges in the pool or pools when they are destroyed, emulations will
restart. To avoid this restart, delete all cartridges from the pool prior to deleting the pool. (see
“Destroying Cartridges” (page 107)
).
To delete a single storage pool:
1.
Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See
“Opening a
Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser” (page 79)
.
2.
In the Storage tab navigation tree, select the pool to delete (listed under
Storage Pools
).
3.
From the task bar, select
Destroy Storage Pool
. The
Confirm Destroy <storagepool name>
window is displayed (
Figure 8 (page 31)
).
