Storage Essentials 5.00.01 User Guide 317

See the following table for information regarding support for volumes and host security groups.

Notes from table:

1

Creating volume means marking existing device as accessible to HSG management, deleting

volume means returning device to free device pool.

2

Solutions Enabler 5.0 or later is required.

3

Volumes created on IBM storage systems cannot be deleted.

4

RAID level can be specified for first volume in a pool, subsequent volumes inherit this setting

5

The “Create Volume Using Settings” column refers to the provisioning capability on the

management server that lets you create different kinds of volumes from a pool depending on

whether you want it optimized, such as for streaming, random access or high availability.

6

Unlike the native tool for the Sun 6130 storage system, the management server refers to virtual

disks as storage pools.
