Allocating volumes by using a keyword search
A keyword search is a full or partial text search. For example, you can search for storage systems,
hosts, volumes, parity groups, THP/Smart pools, and logical groups by entering a full or partial name.
This provides an alternate method of navigating to a resource and performing volume allocation.
To use a keyword search to allocate volumes:
1.
Enter a value in the search box on the tabs bar, and press Enter. All Resources is the default
selection. You can limit the scope of searched resources using the drop down menu.
NOTE:
As the number of searchable objects grows, identify a specific resource to search, for
example Logical Groups, to decrease search time.
2.
As an example, assuming you searched for hosts, from your search results, click the host name
link. The appropriate location in the Resources tab is displayed. The host is effectively selected.
3.
Click Actions > Allocate Volumes.
The Allocate Volumes dialog box will launch.
4.
Specify your volume allocation requirements.
5.
Click Show Plan and confirm that the information in the plan summary is correct. If changes are
required, click Back.
