3-3 Creating a Storage Domain
You can create a storage domain as a migration range. When creating a storage domain, you must specify a
domain controller. When there are no addable domain controllers, an error is displayed.
If an attempt to create a storage domain fails, re-create the storage domain. After a storage domain is created,
Tiered Storage Manager automatically starts to perform a refresh. Sometimes the refresh fails, but if this
happens, perform the refresh again.
To create a storage domain:
1.
In the navigation frame, select the Storage Domains object.
The method frame displays the Create Storage Domain method.
2.
Select the Create Storage Domain method in the method frame.
The Create Storage Domain pop-up window displays, as shown in Figure 3-1.

created and the Create Storage Domain-Result pop-up window displays the execution result.
