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 Faster storage provisioning in an
HP BladeSystem Matrix and Insight Dynamics environment white paper at the following website:
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.
To create storage tags:
1.
Using Systems Insight Manager, select Tools
→HP Matrix OE visualization.
2.
Select Modify
→Logical Server Storage Pools.
The Manage Storage Pool page appears.
3.
Click Manage Tags.
The Manage Storage Tags page appears.
4.
Add storage tags and an optional description.
Storage tags are displayed in the Tag List for all Storage Pool Entries. Click Modify next to
the storage pool entry, then click to select the check box next to a tag name to associate the
tag with the storage pool entry.
