Let's see how Huawei entry-level storage systems manage to deliver ease-of-use for users. Storage resource configuration used to be a complex and time-consuming procedure:
1. On the storage array side, it takes 11 steps to create disk domains, storage pools, LUNs, hosts, host groups, mappings, and other parameters, requiring 15 to 20 minutes to complete the configuration.
2. On the host side, operating system configuration, newly mapped LUN scan, and deployment-related configuration need four steps. This whole process takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Huawei OceanStor 2000 V3 storage systems use SmartConfig (in-house storage resource configuration tool) to allow users to finish previous jobs in only three steps within 1 minute.
