HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 12)

Choosing storage profiles for auto-provisioning
CAUTION: In most cases, you do not have to select an alternate storage layout profile. However,
in the event of a reprovisioning storage request based on a different storage layout (other than the
default), you should delete the entire storage configuration and recreate it. To avoid data loss, HP
recommends that you do the necessary backup prior to running this task. Any new provisioning
also automatically triggers a parity initialization process for volumes that get created. Parity
initialization can take several hours to complete, and volume I/O performance may be degraded
until the completion.
Alternate storage profile selection is currently a manual process. The following are the steps for
selecting an alternate storage profile:
1. To use the maximum capacity configuration:
a.
Remove the current profile:
rm -rf /etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/*.xml
b. Copy the maximum capacity profile:
cp /opt/hp/platform/spt/etc/MaxCapacity/*.xml
/etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/
2. To use the performance configuration:
a.
Remove the current profile:
rm -rf /etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/*.xml
b. Copy the performance profile:
cp /opt/hp/platform/spt/etc/Performance/*.xml
/etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/
3. To use the balanced capacity configuration:
a.
Remove the current profile:
rm -rf /etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/*.xml
b. Copy the balanced capacity profile:
cp /opt/hp/platform/spt/etc/BalancedCapacity/*.xml
/etc/opt/hp/platform/profiles/storage/
