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.
