Add a SAN card to increase data storage capacity.

Install the SAN card.

  1. On the system navigation tree, select ELM Properties, then click Data Storage.

  2. Click the SAN tab, then check the status of the SAN volumes that were detected.

    • Format required — volume must be formatted and doesn't appear on the list of available volumes on the Add Storage Device page.

    • Formatting — volume is in the process of being formatted and doesn't appear on the list of available volumes.

    • Ready — volume is formatted and has a recognizable file system. These volumes can be used to store ELM data.

  3. If a volume is not formatted and you want it to store data, click it, then click Format.

    Important

    Formatting a volume deletes all stored data.

  4. To check if formatting is complete, click Refresh.

    When formatting completes, the system changes the status to Ready.
