Configuring Block Storage

This section demonstrates how to use the

media init command to initialize a HP VMA-series

Array connected to a VMA Gateway for block storage.

To initialize the HP VMA-series Array for block storage, complete the following steps:

1. Connect to the HP VMA SAN Gateway through a terminal port, such as PuTTY.

2. Enter Configure mode, using the following commands.

3. Enter the media init command to initialize the HP VMA-series Array.

This example generated the container ID: 23108R00000043.

4. (Optional) Use the name parameter to create a more intuitive name for the container ID. In the

following example, the generated container ID is changed to FASTBOX1:

5. Confirm that you want to initialize the HP VMA-series Array.

A message confirms that the HP VMA-series Array was successfully initialized.

Viewing Containers

Once you have initialized the HP VMA-series Array, you can see the container that was created.

This section covers how to use the

show containers command to view existing containers.

Before a block media device can be used for block storage, it must be enabled. In the following

steps, you use the

media block id <id> enable command to enable the device.
