Step 4: Review volume configuration

In the last step, you review a summary of the volumes you intend to create and make any necessary changes.

  1. Review the volumes you want to create. To make changes, click Back.
  2. When you are satisfied with your volume configuration, click Finish.
  • In the vSphere Client, create datastores for the volumes.
  • Perform any operating system modifications necessary on the application host so that the applications can use the volume.
  • Run either the host-based hot_add utility or an operating system-specific utility (available from a third-party vendor), and then run the SMdevices utility to correlate volume names with host storage array names.

    The hot_add utility and the SMdevices utility are included as part of the SMutils package. The SMutils package is a collection of utilities to verify what the host sees from the storage array. It is included as part of the ThinkSystem SAN OS software installation.
