Smart Setup Wizard
The Smart Setup Wizard simplifies the creation of Thin Provisioning Pools and configuration of host affinity for
configurations enabled with Thin Provisioning.
For the procedure on configuration using the Smart Setup Wizard, refer to "Configuration Guide (Basic)".
Note
If a Thin Provisioning Pool has not been created, the Smart Setup Wizard automatically creates one. The
Thin Provisioning Pool configuration is automatically determined based on the type and number of
installed drives.
•
The priority for selecting drive types is as follows.
SSD > SSD SED
If multiple drive types exist, the drive type with the highest priority is selected to create a Thin
Provisioning Pool.
To create another Thin Provisioning Pool with the unselected drive types, this wizard cannot be used.
Use the dedicated function provided by this storage system to create a Thin Provisioning Pool.
•
A Thin Provisioning Pool is configured with RAID groups whose RAID level is RAID5 and the number of
drives is 5 or more.
•
A Global Hot Spare is registered for each Thin Provisioning Pool.
The following shows an example of creating a Thin Provisioning Pool using the Smart Setup Wizard.
●
For SSDs and SSD SEDs
RAID groups are created with RAID5, which has high storage efficiency.
