6 Configure Storage The steps in SmartStart wizard step 5, Configure storage, guide you through creating basic storage on your HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system. NOTE: You can use the HP 3PAR Management Console to delete any hosts, virtual volumes, or exports you create using SmartStart. To do this, install and use the HP 3PAR Management Console (see SmartStart wizard step 6, Install the Management Console). To create basic storage, you create hosts, create virtual volumes, export the virtual volumes, and configure the virtual volumes on a host system. These operations are described in the following list: 1. Create hosts. Hosts are defined paths between the host system and the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system. For more information, see "Hosts" (page 44). 2. Create virtual volumes. Virtual volumes are the storage containers for data. For more information, see "Virtual Volumes" (page 47). Virtual Volumes and CPGs When you create virtual volumes, you will assign common provisioning groups (CPGs) to those volumes. CPGs are pools of storage space. CPGs allocate storage space to virtual volumes, and volumes use this space to store data. 31

6 Configure Storage
The steps in SmartStart wizard step 5,
Configure storage
, guide you through creating basic storage
on your HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system.
NOTE:
You can use the HP 3PAR Management Console to delete any hosts, virtual volumes, or
exports you create using SmartStart. To do this, install and use the HP 3PAR Management Console
(see SmartStart wizard step 6,
Install the Management Console
).
To create basic storage, you create hosts, create virtual volumes, export the virtual volumes, and
configure the virtual volumes on a host system. These operations are described in the following
list:
1.
Create hosts
. Hosts are defined paths between the host system and the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage system. For more information, see
“Hosts” (page 44)
.
2.
Create virtual volumes
. Virtual volumes are the storage containers for data. For more
information, see
“Virtual Volumes” (page 47)
.
Virtual Volumes and CPGs
When you create virtual volumes, you will assign common provisioning groups (CPGs) to
those volumes. CPGs are pools of storage space. CPGs allocate storage space to virtual
volumes, and volumes use this space to store data.
