Default CPGs

The setup process automatically creates default CPGs on your HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage system. The CPGs created depend on your HP 3PAR storage system’s drive types,
number of drive cages, and RAID types:

Using Default CPGs

To use SmartStart to create basic storage, assign the default CPG to the virtual volume(s)
you create.

To create a new CPG, install and use the HP 3PAR Management Console (see SmartStart
wizard Step 6, Install the Management Console).

3.

Export virtual volumes. When you export (present) virtual volumes to a host, you make the
volumes accessible to the host. The host system can then perform read/write operations on
the exported virtual volumes on your HP 3PAR storage system.

4.

In addition to creating storage, you must configure the exported virtual volumes on your
Windows 2008 R2 host system so the host system can use these volumes. The Add Virtual
Volumes to Windows wizard, accessed from SmartStart wizard Step 5, Configure storage,
guides you through configuring virtual volumes on a Windows 2008 R2 host system.

For more information on creating storage or to set up advanced storage parameters, use the HP
3PAR Management Console. To install the Management Console, go to SmartStart wizard Step
6, Install the Management Console.
