  2. From the navigation tree, choose Disk Volumes under Archive Media.

    The Disk-Based Volumes page is displayed.

    Note - If you are running multiple connections to a STK 5800 disk archive, the name you choose here must be unique across all Sun SAM environments. One way to achieve this would be to use the server you are currently managing as part of the volume name.

  7. In the Port field, type the port number to use to connect to the Sun StorageTek STK5800 system.
