7-6-2 Adding Storage to a Storage Group
The system administrator, local system administrator, storage administrator, and local storage administrator 
can add storage to an empty group or storage group. Guest and local guest users do not have access to this 
function. 
When you add storage, you add one or more LUNs (access paths) to an empty group or storage group. You 
can add storage to an Open-Allocated or to an Open-Unallocated group, or to both. During this process you 
can optionally create LUSE device(s) and secure the LUNs to host WWNs. 
NOTE:
In Web Client, increasing the amount of data that is displayed in the window increases the amount of
memory that is used. To avoid a memory shortage, we recommend that you do not add more than 1,000 
storage units to a storage group. 
NOTE:
If an error occurs when a local system administrator or local storage administrator attempts to add
storage, depending on the state of the storage associated with the storage subsystem, these users may no 
longer be able to recognize the storage. If such an error occurs under these circumstances, you should ask 
the system administrator or storage administrator to perform a refresh and a LUN scan, and move the 
affected storage to an appropriate storage group. 
To add storage to an empty group or storage group:
1.
Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, or 
local storage administrator. 
2.
Select the Logical Groups object in the navigation frame, expand the tree as needed (click on
+
), and
then select the empty group or storage group to which you want to add storage (see
Figure 7-8
).
3.
Select the Add Storage button in the information frame.
