10.3 The logical configuration process

We recommend that you configure your storage environment in the following order. This does
not mean that you have to follow this guide exactly. You can get the same results by following
a different order, as long as you define your storage complex, unit, and images first. This is
only a suggestion.

10.3.1 Configuring a storage complex

To create the storage complex, expand the

Manage Hardware (1) section, click Storage

Complexes (2), click Create from the Select Action (3) pull-down and click Go (4), as shown
in Figure 10-23. Follow the panel directions with each advancing panel.
