IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

This section describes how to configure the internal storage disk drives using different RAID 
levels and different optimization strategies.

In this section, we start with the environment shown in Figure 8-1. All the internal drives are 
unconfigured. Currently, the existing MDisks come from external storage, and example 
storage pools, volumes, and hosts have been created for use. 

You can learn how to manage MDisks and storage pools in this chapter. In Chapter 7, 
“Migration wizard” on page 265, we demonstrate how to discover and import LUNs from 
external disk array controllers and how to migrate data out of these and into IBM Flex System 
V7000 Storage Node. You can also learn about, how to create volumes and hosts and how to 
map volumes to hosts in Chapter 6, “Basic Volume and Host Configuration” on page 241.

The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node storage system provides an individual Internal 
Storage window for managing all internal drives. The Internal Storage window can be 
accessed by opening the Overview window, clicking the Internal Drives function icon and 
then clicking Pools. Figure 8-1 shows you how to access the Internal window from the 
Getting Started window.
