Creating containers for virtual disks
Create a container on a storage system by specifying virtual disk properties. See
virtual disk containers . To create containers by specifying a host volume or host
volume group, see creating a managed set of containers for host volumes and
creating a managed set of containers for host volume groups respectively.
Considerations
• You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI to create containers on a storage system. See virtual
disks actions cross reference .
• In the GUI, the New Container action can be started by selecting an existing virtual disk, or not.
If a virtual disk is selected, the new container inherits the properties of that disk. If a virtual disk is
not selected, you can specify all of the container properties.
Procedures
The following procedures use the GUI.
Creating a container from a selected disk

virtual disks actions cross reference .
• Maximum number of virtual disks per DR group. See
controller software features - remote replication .
• General guidelines for remote replication. See virtual disks remote replication guidelines .
Procedure
This procedure uses the GUI. See also DR groups creating a DR group pair .
1. In the navigation pane, select Virtual Disks .
