Storage Configuration
The Intel
®
Modular Server System MFSYS25 supports up to 14 2.5-inch SAS drives and
the Intel
®
Modular Server System MFSYS35 supports up to six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
drives. These drives are shared between all compute modules. The physical disk drives are
not directly connected to the compute modules. To assign storage to a compute module, a
storage pool must be created first. Once a storage pool is created, a virtual drive can be
created and assigned to one or more compute modules. This process is referred to as
storage configuration. The Intel
®
Modular Server Control UI is used to configure storage
for the Intel
®
Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35. Storage configuration
involves the creation and management of storage pools, virtual drives, and hot spares.
This includes assigning virtual drives to one or more compute modules.
This section provides information on creating an initial storage pool, creating an initial
virtual drive and mapping the virtual drive to a compute module using the Intel
®
Modular
Server Control UI. Once a virtual drive is mapped to a compute module, an operating
system can be installed.
To access the storage configuration screen, either click the top menu Storage tab or click
System > Storage in the left navigation panel.
Creating a Storage Pool
The initial storage configuration step is to create a storage pool or grouping of physical
disk drives. Once a storage pool is created, virtual drives can be created within the storage
pool and assigned to a compute module.
Steps to create a storage pool
1. To configure storage, click the top menu Storage tab or click System > Storage in the
left navigation panel.
When the storage configuration screen is displayed for the first time, no storage pools
or virtual drives are present. The storage screen looks similar to the following image.
