Creating storage tags – HP Matrix Operating Environment Software User Manual
Page 130
After selecting the desired entry, the storage pool entry can be saved and can then be used for
future service provisioning requests. If the SPM catalog entry authorizes it, infrastructure orchestration
is able to dynamically adjust the LUN masking and, if necessary, the host mode for the storage
pool entry. If there were no pre-provisioned volumes to meet the need, and on-demand provisioning
is enabled for the template being used, SPM can create the appropriate storage (and perform
automated zoning in a Brocade SAN environment).
For more detailed information on the use cases and how storage is managed in Matrix OE
visualization, see the HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) User Guide, HP Matrix Operating
Environment Logical Server Management User Guide, and the Logical Server Management Best
Practices white paper at
Creating storage tags
Matrix infrastructure orchestration uses the tags selected from the Tag List in the storage pool entry
to match the logical disk tags provided in the infrastructure orchestration designer.
IMPORTANT:
When logical disk tags are specified in the template design, only volumes with the
exact tags are allocated. If logical disk tag information is not provided, the allocation process
ignores the storage volume tags.
