6. Verify the information and then select one of the following options: • To confirm and complete the wizard, click Deploy. • To return to previous wizard windows and review or change your selections, click Back. • To abandon all selections made using the Storage Deployment wizard, click Cancel. If you click Deploy, using the HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) or the subsystem VDS hardware provider, Simple SAN Connection Manager initializes the subsystem, creates disk groups or storage pools and LUNs, and presents those LUNs to the host(s) as specified in the deployment summary shown in Figure 97. If the selected subsystem already has logical disks containing data, Simple SAN Connection Manager displays a message warning that the storage subsystem will be uninitialized and all logical disks and their data will be deleted. 7. To acknowledge the warning, uninitialize the storage subsystem, delete all logical disks, and start the Storage Deployment wizard, type YES, and then click OK. To abandon this deployment, click Cancel. If the configuration completes successfully, the wizard informs you of the results. If the partition is created from the LUNs, it lists the volume name and drive letter assigned for each LUN (Figure 98). Figure 98 Storage Deployment wizard: deployment results (template deployment) Configuration using a customized deployment Advanced users may create a customized deployment to configure the storage subsystem. To use a customized deployment, you must have extensive knowledge of the subsystem's features and capabilities. For example, you must know the number of physical disks, the number of disks required for a disk group or storage pool, the LUN types, and the Vraid or RAID types allowed for the LUN. CAUTION: Attempt custom deployment only if you are an advanced user with extensive knowledge about the storage subsystem that you want to configure. IMPORTANT: The following limitations apply to customized deployment for the MSA 2000 family: • A maximum of 16 virtual disks (disk groups) are allowed per controller. • All LUNs on a virtual disk must be of the same RAID level. • You cannot combine SAS and SATA drives in the same virtual disk.

•
To confirm and complete the wizard, click
Deploy
.
•
To return to previous wizard windows and review or change your selections, click
Back
.
•
To abandon all selections made using the Storage Deployment wizard, click
Cancel
.
If you click
Deploy
, using the HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) or the subsystem VDS hardware
provider, Simple SAN Connection Manager initializes the subsystem, creates disk groups or storage
pools and LUNs, and presents those LUNs to the host(s) as specified in the deployment summary shown
in
Figure 97
.
If the selected subsystem already has logical disks containing data, Simple SAN Connection Manager
displays a message warning that the storage subsystem will be uninitialized and all logical disks and
their data will be deleted.
7.
To acknowledge the warning, uninitialize the storage subsystem, delete all logical disks, and start the
Storage Deployment wizard, type
YES
, and then click
OK
. To abandon this deployment, click
Cancel
.
If the configuration completes successfully, the wizard informs you of the results. If the partition is
created from the LUNs, it lists the volume name and drive letter assigned for each LUN (
Figure 98
).

Configuration using a customized deployment
Advanced users may create a customized deployment to configure the storage subsystem. To use a
customized deployment, you must have extensive knowledge of the subsystem’s features and capabilities.
For example, you must know the number of physical disks, the number of disks required for a disk group or
storage pool, the LUN types, and the Vraid or RAID types allowed for the LUN.
CAUTION:
Attempt custom deployment only if you are an advanced user with extensive knowledge about
the storage subsystem that you want to configure.
IMPORTANT:
The following limitations apply to customized deployment for the MSA 2000 family:
•
A maximum of 16 virtual disks (disk groups) are allowed per controller.
•
All LUNs on a virtual disk must be of the same RAID level.
•
You cannot combine SAS and SATA drives in the same virtual disk.
