The status of each job is displayed in the State column of the Provision Job section located in the
lower pane of the screen. A job can have one of the following statuses:
• Created - The job has been created, but it will not be executed. The job cannot be viewed by

• Scheduled - The job has been tasked to execute at a specified time and date. Jobs are assigned
a scheduled state after you select the job and click the Execute Job ( ) button.
• Started - The job has started. You cannot delete a job once it has started.

• Ended - The job has finished.
How to Use Path Provisioning
All the provisioning tasks are centralized on one screen. Provisioning allows you to either select a
default template from the System Action combo-box or create a system action template consisting of
the provisioning tasks best suited to your system, as described in ” Creating a System Action
Template ” on page 625.
The default provisioning templates are listed below:
• Volume Creation + LUN Security + Zone Operation - Lets you create a meta volume, map a
volume to a Fibre Channel port and host HBAs (HSG), and then create a zone. See ” Volume
Creation, LUN Security, and Zone Operation ” on page 600 for more information.
• Meta Volume Creation - Lets you create a meta volume. See ” Creating a Meta Volume ” on
page 605 for more information.
• LUN Security - Lets you map a meta volume to Fibre Channel port and host HBAs (HSG). See the
topic ” LUN Security ” on page 607 for more information.
• Zone Operation - Lets you perform a zone operation. See ” Zone Operation ” on page 611 for
more information.
• Volume Creation + LUN Security - Lets you create a meta volume and then map the meta volume
to a Fibre Channel port. See ” Volume Creation and LUN Security ” on page 615 for more
information.
• LUN Security and Zone Operation - Lets you create a host security group with the host HBA
WWN along with zoning operations. See ” LUN Security and Zone Operation ” on page 617.
