Use this page to configure one or more storage systems to use replicated mirror groups.
The wizard provides this page only when you have a storage type that requires you to configure the corresponding storage system.
You can configure storage systems only for IBM® DS-Series Metro Mirror (In-band), IBM DS-Series Global Mirror, IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller (SVC), and IBM XIV® storage types. Hitachi/HP Universal Replicator and EMC Symmetrix do not require the configuration of storage systems.
The amount and type of information that you need to provide vary based on the storage type of the storage system.
A storage system represents the storage unit or storage controller that hosts or controls one or more disks or volumes to be replicated in the mirror group. An example of a storage system is a DS8800 or SAN Volume Controller (SVC) cluster. Every storage system has a vendor-specific unique identifier. For example, a DS8300 storage system might have a unique identifier of IBM.2107-1300851.

Specify a name for an independent unit of enterprise storage that can provide all required enterprise-level storage functions. Enterprise storage system names include storage units such as Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) or FlashCopy FlashCopy® products.
