Allocating volumes by using a criteria search
Using a criteria search allows finding volumes with specific attributes, such as drive type or RAID
level, and allocating them.
To use a criteria search to allocate volumes to a storage system:
1.
From the search box drop-down menu, select More Searches.
2.
Specify the search criteria and execute your search. There are Basic and Advanced tabs presenting
criteria options. Basic criteria for volume status, type, drive performance, RAID level, or capacity
requirement should meet most needs. Advanced criteria are more specialized.
TIP:
Searches can be saved for re-use, and can be saved as private or public. Note that saving
or sharing a search requires the Tiered Storage Manager license.
3.
From the search results, select the volumes and click Allocate Volumes.
The Allocate Volumes dialog box will launch.
