4. Allocate volumes with existing virtual ID information, or volumes requiring virtual ID assignments
as follows:
1. To allocate volumes that belong to resource groups being used for a data migration that
uses virtual IDs, reference the virtual ID information and manually select volumes, and then
click Show Plan to register this as a task.
2. To assign new virtual IDs to volumes that belong to meta_resource, and then allocate those
volumes to a host, specify volume conditions or manually select volumes whose storage
system resource group ID is 0 (meta_resource), and then click Show Plan to register this as
a task. Use Column Settings to display storage system resource group IDs.
5. Confirm that the information in the plan summary is correct. If changes are required, click Back.
6. (Optional) Update the task name and provide a description.
7. (Optional) Expand Schedule to specify the task schedule. You can schedule the task to run
immediately or later. The default setting is Now. If scheduled for Now, select View task status to
monitor the task after it is submitted.
8. Click Submit. If the task is scheduled to run immediately, the task begins.
9. You can check the progress and the result of the task on the Tasks & Alerts tab. Click on the task
name to view details of the task.
Using the Resources tab, select the hosts to verify that the designated volumes are allocated.
Volumes for which no virtual ID is specified are assigned a new virtual ID. When allocating
volumes whose storage system resource group ID is 0, the volumes are registered in the same
resource group as the host group.
The designated volumes are allocated on the selected hosts.
TIP:
When allocating like volumes, you can also allocate volumes for which no virtual IDs are specified,
as described in this procedure.
NOTE:
When unallocating volumes, you can also delete virtual IDs at the same time. To delete virtual IDs,
specify conditions in Advanced Options > Virtual ID Information.
