򐂰 Express configuration
Express configuration provides the simplest and fastest method to configure a storage
complex.
Some configuration methods require extensive time. Because there are many complex
functions available to you, you are required to make several decisions during the
configuration process. However, with Express configuration, the storage server makes
several of those decisions for you. This reduces the time that configuration takes, and
simplifies the task for you.
The Express Configuration Wizard is ideal for the following users:
– Novice users with little knowledge of storage concepts who want to quickly and easily
set up and begin using storage.
– Expert users who want to quickly configure a storage complex by allowing the storage
server to make decisions for the best storage appropriation.
Using Express configuration, you can perform the following tasks:
– Configure open systems, iSeries, and zSeries volumes
– Create a volume group
– Create a host
– Map a volume group to a host attachment
The following items should be considered as first steps in the use of either configuration
mode.

Logging in to the DS Storage Manager requires that you provide your user name and
password. This function is generally administered through your system administrator and
by your company policies.
