This step is required when using CFL Extension for the first time.

Prepare for configuring the storage system

Some program products require preparation of the storage system using the Remote Web
Console windows before actually applying the configuration using spreadsheets. For details,
see the documentation for program products supporting CFL Extension.

Write spreadsheets

Spreadsheet templates are provided for each program product. Make a copy of the template,
and modify the copy of the spreadsheet template to define the storage system configuration.
Change the file name to a name that is 32 or fewer characters, including the extension.

The template files are divided into two types:

The file name ends with _def: You can use the file without changing the contents.

The file name ends with _def_: You need to change the contents before executing

For details about templates or configurations, see documentation for program products
supporting CFL Extension. For general conventions of spreadsheets, see
