Viewing the audit log

The Storage Module for vCenter provides an audit log for provisioning operations. The audit log,
provisionAuditLog.txt

, is available in the following directory:

install directory/Storage/JBoss/standalone/log

.

Adding a new datastore

You can add a new datastore to a host or cluster that meets the following prerequisites.

Hosts

The host must exist in the vSphere Client.

In an FC environment, the SAN must be zoned between the storage pools and the host.

The host must be configured as a hostgroup or host on the array.

P4000 arrays in an iSCSI environment only:

The iSCSI initiator on the host must be installed and configured.

The iSCSI array IP address or hostname must be configured in the iSCSI initiator's dynamic
discovery list on the host.

Clusters

The cluster and its hosts must exist in the vSphere Client.

In an FC environment, the SAN must be zoned between the storage pools and the cluster
hosts.

The cluster hosts must be configured as hostgroups or hosts on the array.

The cluster hosts can belong to separate hostgroups.

NOTE:

The Storage Module for vCenter does not support configurations that have all cluster

hosts in a single hostgroup.

P4000 arrays in an iSCSI environment only:

The iSCSI initiator on all cluster hosts must be installed and configured.

The iSCSI array IP address or hostname must be configured in the iSCSI initiator's dynamic
discovery list on all cluster hosts.

Adding a datastore

To add a datastore to a host or cluster:
1.

Start the vSphere Client.

2.

Use one of the following methods to start the Add Datastore wizard:

Right-click a host or cluster and select HP Insight Management

→Create Datastore.

Select Actions

→Create Datastore on the HP Insight Management page for a host or cluster.

Right-click a host or cluster in any Storage Module for vCenter table, and then select
