   The Execution Result dialog box is displayed.

5. Click Close. The vStore is created successfully.

   The system will automatically show LUNs and file systems owned by each vStore.

   NOTE:

   Browsers other than Internet Explorer 8 support both card and list views and the switchover of the two views to show LUNs and file systems of vStores. However, Internet Explorer 8 only supports the list view. The following will use the card view as an example.

   • On the upper right corner of the card view, click to switch to the list view of vStores.
   • On the upper right corner of the list view, click to switch to the card view of vStores.
   • Click Details to view detailed resource information about a vStore.

Follow-up Procedure

After the super administrator creates vStores, it needs to create vStore users to manage vStores. vStore users can log in to DeviceManager and check vStore views.
