The CMC VSA wizards can take one almost all of the way needed for quick setup, but on several occasions, I got caught on this:

1. Ran "add VSA" wizard to find the VSA. No issues.
2. Ran the 2nd wizard - but you get stopped if you have not configured RAID on the newly identified VSA. I believe one could be prompted to setup RAID at this point, instead of dropping one out of the wizard.

Thanks, that is a very good point.
Typically SAN/iQ hardware platforms are shipped defaulted to a RAID configuration already. I don't think we have ever seen this come up until the virtual appliance was released.
Since the VSA cannot have its RAID pre-configured we are going to update the wizard to handle that step.

Just and update...
The wizards have been updated for the release of the production VSA in November. Thanks for this feedback. I think it will be useful for other platforms too.
The resolution included that platforms that have only one RAID option (like the VSA's virtual RAID) will be automatically configured by the wizard.
