Storage
Storage includes both disk devices as well as storage pools:
•
Pools can be created from raw device hardware RAID sets. Each storage pool can be a
group of one or more physical devices. Any disk known to your Windows system that
does not have valid partition information is a candidate for a storage pool.
•
File-based devices can be created from files on a software volume.
Once created, LUs can be created from the pools/file-based device and assigned to hosts.
When you select
Storage
from the
Configuration
screen, you will see a list of all of your
existing iSCSI storage (except imported disks).
