28 Configuring iSCSI Connectivity with VMware vSphere 6 and Dell PS Series Storage | TR1075
8.1.2 Step 2: Create and configure a volume
The next step creates a new volume and assigns it to the ESXi host. There are multiple ways to do this, so
refer to the Group Manager Administrator’s Guide for more information. This can also be done from
directly within the vSphere Web Client using the Dell Virtual Storage Manager plugin and completed in
only a few clicks. For details, see the document, Dell Virtual Storage Manager: Installation Considerations
and Datastores Manager.
This example creates a 500GB volume and assigns it to this ESXi host through an IP-based basic access
point. For a more detailed discussion on volume access control, see the document, Access Control
Policies, and the firmware Group Manager Administrator’s Guide.
1. From the Dell PS Series Group Manager web GUI, click the Volumes button in the lower left pane,
and then click the Create volume link in the Activities pane.
