# Configuring a Physical+VSM GAD Pair

For a (global-active device) GAD pair, using Arrays page in the Commvault software, you need to create one physical array for each virtual storage machine (VSM) array in the GAD pair. The procedure to configure a physical array and a VSM array is similar and you need to repeat the procedure for each physical array and for each VSM array.

## Before You Begin

- Verify that you system meets the system requirements. See System Requirements.

- You must configure the physical arrays and the VSM arrays in the Hitachi Vantara console.

Tip

Write down the serial number of the physical arrays and the name of the VSM arrays.

## Procedure

1. Add and configure a primary physical array in Arrays page. This physical array is one member of the GAD pair.

2. Add and configure a secondary physical array in Arrays page. This physical array is the base array for the VSM array.

3. Add and configure the VSM array in Arrays page. This VSM array is the second member of the GAD pair.
