Chapter 3. Graphical user interface overview 105
A new storage controller (external storage system) is listed automatically when the SAN
zoning is configured, but typically without detecting disk drives (Figure 3-47).
Figure 3-47 Figure 3-47Automatically detected new external storage system
By right-clicking a newly detected storage system, you can rename the controller’s default
name (Figure 3-48), in our case, controller0, to reflect the real type of the storage device.
We suggest that you use a simple naming convention, which in our case is DS3524
(Figure 3-49).

After the new external storage system is renamed, detect all disks that are configured on that
external storage, in our case, IBM DS3524. You can also discover storage from the CLI by
using the svctask detectmdisk command or detectmdisk.
