Figure 109 Storage Deployment wizard: create MSA storage pools (custom deployment) 4. On either the Create Your Disk Groups or Create Your Storage Pools wizard window, create one or more disk groups or storage pools as follows: a. The Total Physical Disks box specifies the quantity of disks in this subsystem. The total number of disks you allot to your disk groups or storage pools must not exceed this quantity. For example, if this subsystem contains 24 physical disks, you could create three groups/pools, each containing eight disks. b. Under # of Disk, enter a quantity of disks allowed in this group or pool. c. Under Disk's Modifier, restrict the # Disk entry (see preceding step 4b) by selecting one of the following from the list: • Exactly This Many Disks specifies that this group/pool must include this number of disks. • At Least This Many Disks specifies that this group/pool must include a minimum of this number of disks. • At Most This Many Disks specifies that this group/pool must include a maximum of this number of disks. • The Remaining Disks specifies that this group/pool must include all of the disks not already included in the preceding disk groups or storage pools on the list, if you are creating multiple disk groups or storage pools. Select this option only for the last disk group or storage pool on the list. d. (Optional) To create another disk group or storage pool, click Add. e. (Optional) To remove a disk group or storage pool, select it, and then click Delete. f. When you are finished adding, editing, and deleting disk groups or storage pools, click Next to continue. If you are configuring an EVA subsystem, the wizard prompts you to create logical disks for each disk group (Figure 110). If you are configuring an MSA subsystem, the wizard prompts you to create logical disks for each storage pool (Figure 111). 130 Managing Storage Subsystems
