Template date: 09/2003 DRAFT Configuring storage for non-clustered configurations Configure storage by creating disk arrays, LUNs, and volumes. Physical disks can be arranged as RAID arrays for fault tolerance and enhanced performance, then segmented into LUNs of appropriate sizes for particular storage needs. These LUNs then become the volumes that appear as drives on the NAS server. Creating disk arrays Array and LUN management are functions of the SAN and are managed and administered by the SAN Management software in use with the associated storage array. The NAS device is designed to make use of these assigned LUNS but does not contain the functionality to directly manipulate the various storage arrays. Please see the accompanying storage array management guides for assistance in providing LUNS to the NAS device. Verifying LUNs To verify that the NAS System recognizes the newly created LUNs: 1. Click the Disks tab and select Disks. 2. Select Rescan in the Task section to make the system scan for newly created LUNs. 3. Click Back to return to the Manage Disks. 4. Verify that disks matching the newly created sizes are displayed. Creating a volume To create a Volume on the newly created LUN: 1. Click the Disks tab and select Disks. 2. Select the radio button for the target disk. 3. Select Create New Volume. 4. Fill out the form on the screen and click OK. 5. Fill out the form on the screen and click OK. The volume is created. 30 NAS 4000s and 9000s Installation Guide HP Restricted
