5 Building Your Storage Space

Follow the instructions in this section to choose a management system, log in to each system in your

storage space, and create logical drives. (For more information, see Understanding Logical Drives on

page 52.)

Note: Before beginning the tasks in this chapter, ensure that maxView Storage

Manager is installed on every system that will be part of your storage space.

Overview

To build your storage space, complete these steps:

1. Choose at least one management system (see Choosing a Management System on page 35).

2. Start and log in to maxView Storage Manager on the management system (see Starting maxView

Storage Manager and Logging In on page 28).

3. Start maxView Storage Manager or the Agent on all other systems (see Starting maxView Storage

Manager on Remote Systems on page 36).

4. Log in to all other systems from the management system (see Logging into Remote Systems from

the Local System on page 38).

5. Create logical drives for all systems in your storage space (see Creating Logical Drives on page 39).

As your storage requirements change, you can add systems, controllers, and disk drives, then modify

the logical drives in your storage space by following the instructions in Modifying Your Storage Space

on page 52.

Choosing a Management System

You must designate at least one system as a management system, a system from which you will manage

the storage on all systems in your storage space.

The management system can be any system on your network that has a video monitor and can run the

full maxView Storage Manager application.

‘Local’ or ‘Remote’?

Whenever you're working in maxView Storage Manager, the system that you're working on is the local

system. All other systems in your storage space are remote systems. ‘Local’ and ‘remote’ are relative

terms, as shown in the following gure—when you are working on system A (local system), system B is

a remote system; when you are working on system B (local system), system A is a remote system.

For the purposes of this guide, the ‘local system’ is the management system.
