This section follows the setup process and shows how to create volumes and make them
accessible from the host. The following steps are required to complete the basic setup of your
environment:
򐂰 Create new volumes: starting at section 6.1.1, “Creating a generic volume” on page 258
򐂰 Create a new host: starting at section 6.2, “Creating a new host” on page 273
򐂰 Map volumes to the host: at section 6.3, “Mapping a volume to the host” on page 279
