(Optional) Create Virtual Disks

Virtual disks are intended to store user-specific data and are attached to virtual machines.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Virtual Assurance user interface from the Start menu. Click Management, Resources.

   The Explore tree opens.

2. Expand the Huawei SingleCLOUD folder and right-click the appropriate Storage Cluster.

   A pop-up menu opens.

3. Select Management, Create Disk.

   The Create Disk dialog opens.

4. Specify the following parameters and click OK.
   • Disk Name
   • Disk Type (User Disk or Shared Disk). A User Disk can be attached to one virtual machine. A Shared Disk can be attached to multiple virtual machines.
   • Dynamic Allocation (Ordinary or Thin Provisioning)

     Thin Provisioning requires IP SAN device support.

   • Disk Size (GB)
   • Description of the virtual disk

   CA Virtual Assurance creates the virtual disk. To get a list of virtual disks, open the Details tab in the Storage Cluster panel.
