5.  Enter a hostname for the VSA (unique on your network) and domain name and choose the data store on which the VSA 

virtual machine is to reside (Figure 31). The data store should be on internal or direct-attached server storage. Two virtual 
machine disks (VMDKs) are created in this data store: a 512-MB boot disk and a 20-GB journal disk.

6.  Choose the desired storage allocation technique (Figure 32). Raw device mappings offer the best performance; however, 

SSH must be enabled on the host, but only for the duration of the deployment (SSH can be disabled immediately after 
deployment is complete).

 Warning: 

If you select an RDM device that has data stored on it, that data will be permanently deleted during deployment.

7.  If you want to allocate multiple RDMs as a pool, select the 

Advanced options checkbox. If the pool you want is listed, 

choose it. Otherwise, click 

Add. The Create Storage Pool window opens.

Note: Complete the fields to create the pool; then click OK. For more information, see the section “Creating a Pool in the 
WebGUI” in the StorMagic documentation at :
