Next Steps
Before you attempt to allocate the remaining free physical devices for use, ensure that you have
completed the following prerequisites:
•
Read, understand, and observe the storage pool best practices (see storage pools best
practices in the latest version
7000 Series Flash Storage Platform Installation Guide)
.
•
Allocate the remaining free storage space on each shelf and make it available to the 7700 FSP
Controllers. This may involve moving all physical devices from southbound shelves to storage
pools on the 7700 FSP Controllers, and preparing them for discovery and use by the
northbound hosts.
Note:
In general, a single storage pool is created on MG-A with all of the physical device on each
of the storage shelves in the 7700 FSP storage cluster. From this amount, 32TB can be used for
dedup and the remainder can be allocated for use as thick/thin/snapshot. If you plan to allocate the
remaining storage from the southbound storage shelves, configure the out-of-space alerts on the
storage shelves (assuming this is thick LUNs) as appropriate for your specific needs.
