Storage Configuration The Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25 supports up to 14 2.5-inch SAS drives and the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS35 supports up to six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives. These drives are shared between all compute modules. The physical disk drives are not directly connected to the compute modules. To assign storage to a compute module, a storage pool must be created first. Once a storage pool is created, a virtual drive can be created and assigned to one or more compute modules. This process is referred to as storage configuration. The Intel® Modular Server Control UI is used to configure storage for the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35. Storage configuration involves the creation and management of storage pools, virtual drives, and hot spares. This includes assigning virtual drives to one or more compute modules. This section provides information on creating an initial storage pool, creating an initial virtual drive and mapping the virtual drive to a compute module using the Intel® Modular Server Control UI. Once a virtual drive is mapped to a compute module, an operating system can be installed. To access the storage configuration screen, either click the top menu Storage tab or click System > Storage in the left navigation panel. Creating a Storage Pool The initial storage configuration step is to create a storage pool or grouping of physical disk drives. Once a storage pool is created, virtual drives can be created within the storage pool and assigned to a compute module. Steps to create a storage pool 1. To configure storage, click the top menu Storage tab or click System > Storage in the left navigation panel. When the storage configuration screen is displayed for the first time, no storage pools or virtual drives are present. The storage screen looks similar to the following image. 72 Intel® Modular Server System User Guide

Storage Configuration

The Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS25 supports up to 14 2.5-inch SAS drives and

the Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS35 supports up to six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA

drives. These drives are shared between all compute modules. The physical disk drives are

not directly connected to the compute modules. To assign storage to a compute module, a

storage pool must be created first. Once a storage pool is created, a virtual drive can be

created and assigned to one or more compute modules. This process is referred to as

storage configuration. The Intel

Modular Server Control UI is used to configure storage

for the Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35. Storage configuration

involves the creation and management of storage pools, virtual drives, and hot spares.

This includes assigning virtual drives to one or more compute modules.

This section provides information on creating an initial storage pool, creating an initial

virtual drive and mapping the virtual drive to a compute module using the Intel

Modular

Server Control UI. Once a virtual drive is mapped to a compute module, an operating

system can be installed.

To access the storage configuration screen, either click the top menu Storage tab or click

System > Storage in the left navigation panel.

Creating a Storage Pool

The initial storage configuration step is to create a storage pool or grouping of physical

disk drives. Once a storage pool is created, virtual drives can be created within the storage

pool and assigned to a compute module.

Steps to create a storage pool

To configure storage, click the top menu Storage tab or click System > Storage in the

left navigation panel.

When the storage configuration screen is displayed for the first time, no storage pools

or virtual drives are present. The storage screen looks similar to the following image.
