11.2.6 Creating a device unit (for new designing offsite)

To design a new device configuration, first create the device unit to be designed on the design window. To do so, click the target device icon on the unit stencil as shown in the figure below.

When the device icon is clicked, a device creation window appears as shown below:

Enter the necessary information in the window.

  1. Select the device model from the dropdown menu of [Model name].
    A model number ending with "*" (example: E320R10*) can be used as a device having the same model number before the "*". However, a model number ending with "*" cannot be supported for ETERNUS2000.

  2. Enter the name of the target device in the [Device name 1] field. The device name entered here is a temporary name used for identification on the design window. Executing the device matching operation replaces the name with the one defined on the administrative server. [Device name 2] is enabled only when a dual configuration model is specified. Enter the name of a device. The specified name is assigned to each of the duplicated devices.

  3. Enter a memo in [Memo 1] as necessary. The memo information entered here is a memo on the design window and cannot be referenced on the resource view after a configuration is set for the device. [Memo 2] is enabled only when a dual configuration model is specified. Enter memo information.

  4. Click the <OK> button.

The above operations create a device unit on the design window. Continue to perform the disk mount operation and then execute the automatic configuration function to automatically configure a RAIDGroup and LogicalVolumes. A RAIDGroup and LogicalVolumes can also be configured manually.
The device configuration data for the created device is set in the real device after the real device configuration data is initialized.
