The settings are applied to the iSCSI Storage Appliance. 7 Click Register Now, then follow the online instructions to register your iSCSI Storage Appliance. The wizard continues to the Create RAID Pools step. Step 3: Creating RAID Pools The wizard offers two methods for creating (or configuring) pools-express configuration and custom configuration. This section describes how to use the custom configuration method. The custom configuration option steps you through the manual process of creating pools, helping you group disk drives, set RAID levels, determine pool size, and configure advanced settings. Use this option when you want to create customized pools with any or all available disk drives. Up to 20 pools are supported on a single iSCSI Storage Appliance. Note For instructions on creating pools using express configuration, see page 95. To build pools with the custom method: 1 Select Custom configuration..., then click Next. 2 Select a RAID level. The most common RAID levels are listed first; advanced RAID levels are available by clicking Advanced settings. Note Although all RAID levels are listed in the wizard, the RAID levels available for your pools depend on the number of disk drives in your iSCSI Storage Appliance. See "RAID Quick Reference" on page 201 for more information. 3 Click Next. 4 In the Physical Devices panel, enter a name for the pool. Use a meaningful name that will help you easily identify it later. Pool names can be up to 15 characters long. If you don't have enough disk drives to create a pool with the RAID level you chose in the previous step, click Back to select a new RAID level.
