Figure 9-22 View of radio buttons and check boxes in the host attachment panel
In the example shown in Figure 9-22, the radio button is checked to allow specific host
attachments for selected storage unit I/O ports only. The check box has also been selected to
show the recommended location view for the attachment. Only one radio button can be
selected in the group, but multiple check boxes can be selected.
9.3 The logical configuration process
We recommend that you configure your storage environment in the following order. This does
not mean that you have to follow this guide exactly. You can get the same results by following
a different order, so long as you define your storage complex, storage unit first.
9.3.1 Configuring a storage complex
To create the storage complex in simulated mode, expand the Manage Hardware (1)
section, click Storage complexes (2), click Create from the Select Action (3) pull-down and
click Go (4), as shown in Figure 9-23. Follow the panel directions with each advancing
window.
