About managing resource labels

User defined resource labels can be assigned to volumes and THP/Smart pools. Specifically, resource
labels can be volume labels, or THP/Smart pool names.

Resource labels help users:

Search for volumes or THP/Smart pools

Differentiate between listed volumes or THP/Smart pools

Confirm the correct resource is being acted upon

When resources are located with a label search, tasks can be performed including:

Allocating volumes or THP/Smart pools

Editing volume LUN paths

Note that resource labels can be created using:

Device Manager

Remote Web Console

For storage systems where resource labels have already been configured using Remote Web Console,
you can apply (import) the resource labels to Device Manager in a batch operation.
