Clicking the External Storage option opens the window shown in Figure 5-34. This window
shows any virtual external disk systems in that IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. From
this window, you can add MDisks to existing pools, import them as image mode volumes, or
rename them. If you highlight a MDisk, you can also display any dependent volumes.

By default the external storage controllers are named controller0, controller1 etc. It is good
practice to rename these controllers so that the name reflect the hostname of the storage

also rename the MDisks to reflect LUN names from the storage system presenting the disks
to the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node.
