All of the available partitions on that disk or LUN then appear in the bottom of the window. Select
one of these partitions and click Add. (The minimum size for a membership partition is 1 GB.) Repeat
this procedure to select two more membership partitions. We recommend that the partitions be on
different disks.
NOTE:
When selecting partitions for use as membership partitions, be sure that they do not contain any
needed data. When the membership partitions are created, any existing data will be erased.
Snapshot Configuration. HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux provides support for taking hardware
snapshots of PSFS filesystems. (The filesystems must be located on storage arrays supported for
snapshots.) If you want to use this capability, you will need to configure the snapshot method.
To configure the snapshot method, click Add in the Snapshot Configuration section of the window,
select the appropriate configuration module, and then supply the configuration information.
If you are using an HP EVA array, you will be asked for the hostname and authentication information
for the management appliance. This corresponds to the login for the sssu tool and is not the same
as the login for the host running the management software.
For MSA2000 arrays, you will be asked for the hostnames or IP addresses of the storage array
controllers and also the username and password used to access the controllers.
