Configuring new storage

1. Start server
2. At BIOS prompt for storage controller setup, press Ctrl+R
3. Select the controller you wish to create a vdisk on
4. Press F2 for operations, and select create a new disk group (is F2 correct??)
5. Mark the subset of disks you wish to use in the vdisk and create it
6. Press F2 and select slow initalization (Is F2 correct??)
7. Once the initialization begins, it is okay to exit the menu and start the computer
8. Determine device associated with vdisk

    # omreport storage vdisk
   Controller PERC H800 Adapter (Slot 1)
   ID                  : 0
   Status              : Ok
   Name                : t3work7
   State               : Ready
   Encrypted           : Not Applicable
   Layout              : RAID-6
   Size                : 27,940.00 GB (30000346562560 bytes)
   Device Name         : /dev/sdc
   Bus Protocol        : SAS
   Media               : HDD
   Read Policy         : Adaptive Read Ahead
   Write Policy        : Write Back
   Cache Policy        : Not Applicable
   Stripe Element Size : 64 KB
   Disk Cache Policy   : Disabled
   

9. Wait until State is 'Ready'. The initialization may take a couple of days, depending on the size of the vdisk.
10. Create file system

     # mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc

11. Label file system

     # xfs_admin -L MYLABEL /dev/sdc 

12. (Optional) Create a mount point and add an entry to fstab for this disk

     # mkdir /exports/t3work7
     # echo "LABEL=MYLABEL /exports/t3work7 xfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
