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.

If Device Manager and Remote Web Console are both actively used, and Command View AE Suite
is the primary management software, labels set in Device Manager can be applied (exported) to
storage systems managed by Remote Web Console.

NOTE:

Due to differences between Device Manager and storage systems, incompatible character type or
string length issues will be reported with pop-up messages. Use the message to resolve resource label
naming issues.
