Configuring non-preconfigured environments

With non-preconfigured mode, Storwize® Family SRA creates volumes and FlashCopy® and also attaches and detaches volumes to and from the host.

Procedure

  1. Set the appropriate configuration settings:
    Test MDisk group ID
    Instructs Storwize Family SRA on which MDisk group on the recovery site storage system creates the FlashCopy (target) volumes during test recovery operations.
    Volume Type
    Select the volume type as Standard, Thin Provisioned (Space Efficient), or Compressed Volume depending on your requirement. Storwize Family SRA creates the same type of volume during test recovery or recovery.
  2. Click OK to confirm the selections or click Cancel to leave the selections unchanged. To confirm or change the options, restart the configuration utility by double-clicking the shortcut. The current selections are shown under Current Settings.
