Creating A Disk Group
Selecting the Virtual Disks tab displays a logical view of your storage capacity. The Virtual Disks tab also allows you to
create, modify, or delete disk groups and virtual disks.

Selecting an object in the logical view will update the Capacity window in the lower right corner of the display to show
available unconfigured, free and used capacity within the selected array. Before creating a disk group, decide from
which available disk space you want to create the disk group. You can create a disk group from either of the following:
• An existing disk pool or disk group (with free capacity)
• Unconfigured capacity on the storage array
To create a new disk group:
1. Select the disk group, disk pool, or unconfigured capacity you want to create the disk group from.
2. Click Create Disk Group.
The Create Disk Group window is displayed.
