Chapter 6 Perform Post-Setup Tasks166 Storage Center SC8000 Controller Deployment Guidef Click Continue. The wizard displays a summary.g Click Create Now. The wizard displays a list of optional actions.h Click Close. The wizard closes.6 Create a 25 GB test volume called TestVol1.a In the System Tree, select Volumes.a In the Create Server wizard, click Create Volume. the Create Volume wizardappears.b Set the volume size to 25 GB, then click Continue.c Click Continue to apply the default Replay Profile.d Type TestVol1 in the Name field, then click Continue. The wizard displays asummary.e Click Create Now. The wizard displays a list of optional actions.f Click Close.7 (Dual‐controller only) Repeat Step 6 to create a second test volume named TestVol2.8 Map TestVol1 to the first controller.a In the System Tree, expand the Volumes node.b Select TestVol1.c Click Map Volume to Server. The Map Volume to Server wizard appears.d Select the server, then click Continue. The wizard displays a summary.e Click Advanced. The wizard displays advanced mapping options.f In the Restrict Mapping Paths area, select the Map to controller check box, thenselect the controller from the drop‐down menu.g Click Continue. The wizard displays a summary.h Click Create Now. The mapping is created and the wizard closes.9 (Dual‐controller only) Repeat Step 8 to map TestVol2 to the second controller.10 On the server, partition and format the test volume(s).Test Connectivity and FailoverCopy data to the test volume and simulate failures to test connectivity and failover.Test Basic ConnectivityVerify connectivity by copying some data to the test volume(s).Test Controller FailoverIf the Storage Center has dual controllers, perform a test to make sure that IO is notinterrupted by a controller failover.1 Create a Test folder on the server and copy at least 2GB of data into it.2 Manually shut down the first controller while copying data to TestVol1 to verify that IOis not interrupted by the failover event.a Copy the Test folder to the TestVol1 volume.b During the copy process, shut down the first controller (the controller throughwhich the volume is mapped).c Verify that the copy process continues after the controller is shut down.
