Configuring unconfigured storage
The database on the new Solaris host needs at least 40 GB (mirrored) of storage.
Since the Symmetrix array uses 8.46 GB standards, the administrator needs to create
five 8.46 GB drives, and five 8.46 GB unprotected devices that will be converted to
BCVs.
To do this, the administrator:
1. In the Console tree, expands the folders Storage Systems, Symmetrix.
The Symmetrix arrays appear.
2. Right-clicks the Symmetrix array and selects Device Configuration, Logical Device
Configuration.
The Logical Device Configuration dialog box appears (Figure 114 on page 131).
