104 Implementing an Open IBM SAN
Figure 2-34 Tabular View, no ESS logical volumes configured
As expected, the table that contains the detailed description of all volume
assignments made, is empty right now.
2.2.2 Using the Open System Storage panel
To start with the configuration of the ESS, we press the Open System Storage
button, as shown in Figure 2-35. This is the door to the configuration of open
systems storage. It will lead us to the Open System Storage panel, as shown in
Figure 2-36. The S/390 Storage button is also accessible, because there are
ESCON cards installed.

Using the Open System Storage Panel
The Open System Storage panel consists of the Hosts Systems table, the
Assigned Volumes table and the configuration panel buttons. We will see shortly
that those two tables are showing the defined host FC ports and, to the selected
host FC port, the assigned ESS logical volumes, as shown in Figure 2-36.
