Review and deploy the configuration
You can review the information you provided before beginning deployment. You can also
correct any incorrect or incomplete information before you proceed.

During deployment, the management node installation process creates volumes with names
beginning with
NetApp-HCI-
in the Element storage cluster, and a SolidFire account
beginning with the name
tenant_
. Do not delete these volumes or accounts; doing so will
cause a loss in management functionality.
