The Storage page is where you define volume groups, pools,
volumes and hosts; monitor performance; and set up snapshots and mirroring.
Pools and volume groups
The Pools and Volume Groups page allows you to create logical storage capacity from a subset of unassigned drives in your storage array. This logical capacity can take the form of either a pool or a volume group, depending on the needs of your environment.
Volumes
The Volumes page is where you create the storage containers for your applications, databases, and file systems. A volume is the logical component created for the host to access storage on the array.
Hosts
Host operations allow you to define the servers that send data to the storage array.
Performance
The Performance page provides easy ways for you to monitor the performance of your storage array.
Snapshots
The Snapshot feature allows you to create point-in-time images of storage array volumes to use for backup or testing.
Asynchronous mirroring
The Asynchronous Mirroring feature provides a controller-level, firmware-based mechanism for data replication between a local storage array and a remote storage array. Asynchronous mirroring is created on a per-volume basis but managed at a group level, allowing you to associate a distinct remote mirrored volume with any primary volume on a given storage array.
Synchronous mirroring
The Synchronous Mirroring feature provides online, real-time data replication between storage arrays over a remote distance. Storage array controllers manage the mirroring operation, which is transparent to host machines and software applications.
Remote storage
The Remote Storage page is where you can import volumes from a remote storage device to your local DE Series storage system.
