The Storage Module for vCenter provides an audit log for provisioning operations. The audit log,
provisionAuditLog.txt
, is available in the following directory:
<install directory>/Storage/JBoss/standalone/log
.
Creating a datastore
You can create a new datastore on a host or cluster that meets the following prerequisites.
Hosts
•
The host must exist in the vSphere Client.
•
In an FC environment, the SAN must be zoned between the storage pools and the host.
•
The host must be configured as a hostgroup or host on the array.
•
HP StoreVirtual arrays in an iSCSI environment only:
The iSCSI initiator on the host must be installed and configured.
◦
◦
The iSCSI array IP address or hostname must be configured in the iSCSI initiator's dynamic
discovery list on the host.
Clusters
•
The cluster and its hosts must exist in the vSphere Client.
•
In an FC environment, the SAN must be zoned between the storage pools and the cluster
hosts.
•
The cluster hosts must be configured as hostgroups or hosts on the array.
•
The cluster hosts can belong to separate hostgroups.
NOTE:
The Storage Module for vCenter does not support configurations that have all cluster
hosts in a single hostgroup.
•
HP StoreVirtual arrays in an iSCSI environment only:
The iSCSI initiator on all cluster hosts must be installed and configured.
◦
◦
The iSCSI array IP address or hostname must be configured in the iSCSI initiator's dynamic
discovery list on all cluster hosts.
Create a datastore using the vSphere Web Client
Use this procedure with the VMware 5.5 vSphere Web Client. If you are using the VMware 5.1
vSphere Web Client, follow the procedure in
“Create a datastore using the vSphere Client”
To add a datastore to a host or cluster:
1.
Start the vSphere Web Client and access HP Insight Management.
2.
Use one of the following methods to start the Create Datastore wizard:
•
Right-click a host or cluster and select All HP Insight Management Actions
→HP Create
Datastore.
•
Select Actions
→Create Datastore on the HP Insight Management page for a host or cluster.
