For each array, select the volume(s) to be imported.
Insight Orchestration “Static” SAN volume automation approach involves SAN volumes that
are pre-masked to one more initiator WWNs within the SAN and zoning is also pre-configured.
These pre-created volumes are then imported into SPM and made available. SPM has a
pre-populated catalog that is used to fulfill storage requests.
SPM also provides support for “Dynamic” SAN volume automation. Unfulfilled storage requests
are easily visible in the SPM interface, and the storage administrator can view those requests
and create, present, and zone the appropriate SAN volumes using the initiator WWN included
in the request. Catalog entries contain the volume information imported or manually entered,
and authorizations can be specified at the catalog entry level, for instance, indicating an entry
does support LUN masking for particular user groups.
Once the SPM catalog has been populated, proceed to Virtualization Manager’s storage pool
entry interface and build one or more storage pool entries which reference the volumes just
imported through SPM. The following example illustrates the selection of a Linux SAN volume
to build a storage pool entry containing a 20 GB, RAID 5 boot disk.
