Figure 2-36 Open System Storage panel, no host FC ports defined
The configuration panel buttons at the bottom are the entry points to all of our
storage related configuration tasks. The Open System Storage panel is like a
hub, from where we start every open systems storage configuration. In this

mouse on the button.

we want to achieve is to prepare the ESS to provide some ESS logical volumes
to host FC ports. Some of the configuration steps have to be done prior to others.
Figure 2-37 shows the dependencies of the configuration steps.
