Importing or creating a volume service
SPM imports volumes from an array. Volumes can be automatically discovered and made available
for importing from managed arrays. Volumes on unmanaged arrays cannot be automatically
discovered; they must be imported manually.
CAUTION: All imported volumes are made available to fulfill storage requests through SPM. DO
NOT import volumes which could be allocated by another means or that are already in use, unless
you intend to mark them Inactive so they are not allocated to a request in SPM. Unwanted results
are possible if the volume is allocated to one consumer through SPM and to another consumer by
another means.
In the request-based use model, the volume service is specifically imported or created to match a
service request and associated goals. Where possible, select settings to best fit the requirements
of the goals. To view the requirements of a goal:
1. From the Navigation tree, below Service Requests, select the specific service request in which
the goal resides.
2. Click the goal in the List View pane, then select the Actions Fulfillment button. (Alternatively,
right-click the goal and select Fulfillment.)
