Configuring an Existing Storage System
Start Navisphere Express If It Is Not Already Running
1. Open an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape,
on the server or on any host on the same LAN as the storage
system.
2. Enter the IP address of an SP in the storage system.
This address is the one you assigned when you initialized the storage
system.
If Navisphere Express does not open, make sure that the storage
system is not rebooting. When the reboot is complete, the
SP Boot/Fault light on the back of each SP is off and not blinking.
If the storage system is not rebooting and Navisphere Express still
does not open, go to the "Troubleshoot" section on the AX100
support website or the
AX100-Series Documentation
CD.
3. Log in to Navisphere Express by entering the username and
password that you specified when you initialized the storage
system.
Configure an Existing Storage System
1. Locate your completed storage-system configuration planning

2. If you need additional disk pools for virtual disks for the server,

A disk pool is a set of disks, all with the same capacity and redundancy,
on which you create one or more virtual disks. A RAID 5 disk pool must
include at least three disks and a RAID 1/0 must include at least two
disks. The storage system supports a maximum of six disk pools.
To create a disk pool -

disk pool, use the Navisphere Express Help Center.
The disk modules marked 0 through 3 contain storage-system software
or reserved space according to their slot assignment.
Do not move any disk
marked 0 through 3 from its assigned slot
. Remove it only to replace the disk
module. Part of the space on these disks is reserved or preloaded with
system data, and as a result, is not available for your data. If you combine
