Chapter 5. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Graphical user interface overview 

Draft Document for Review January 29, 2013 12:52 pm

The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node can also manage external storage subsystems 
using the SAN or FCoE connections. If any are attached, they are managed in this option.

Clicking the External Storage option opens the window shown in Figure 5-34. This window 
shows any virtual external disk systems in that IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. From 
this window, you can add MDisks to existing pools, import them as image mode volumes, or 
rename them. If you highlight a MDisk, you can also display any dependent volumes.

By default the external storage controllers are named controller0, controller1 etc. It is good 
practice to rename these controllers so that the name reflect the hostname of the storage 
system. This is done by clicking the controller name in the right side of the window. You may 
also rename the MDisks to reflect LUN names from the storage system presenting the disks 
to the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node.

For more information about how to virtualize external storage refer to Chapter 7, “Migration 
wizard” on page 265.

System Migration is used to virtualize and migrate existing external storage disks to the IBM 
Flex System V7000 Storage Node. The System Migration tools are described in detail in 
Chapter 7, “Migration wizard” on page 265.
