In this video I have been talking about Storage allocation using EMC VNX - Unified box to a server.

Step 1 – Zoning of host with VNX
You can find zoning details on below link

Step 2 – Initiator Registration
Install Path management software such as Unisphere host agent etc.
If above is not done, then manual initiator registration is done

Step 3 – LUN Creation
For this you need to decide whether you are going to use a storage pool or RAID Group. You need to create Storage pools manually depending upon your account needs and add different drives depending on RAID requirements too ( You can select Scheduled auto tiering for storage pools from Advanced section to allow auto tiering to take place). You can find details about RAID Groups on below link

Step 4 – Storage Group Creation
This is basically mapping of LUNs to hosts.

Step 5 – Scan Storage on Host
This needs to be done by scanning disk management of hosts

There you go!! You should now see LUN visible to server/host.
