Predefining storage pool entries in Matrix OE visualization

The following example illustrates the selection of a Linux SAN volume to build a storage pool entry.

Select Modify

→Logical Server Storage Pools from Matrix OE visualization. On the Manage Storage

Pool screen, the target portability group is selected (in this case a Virtual Connect Domain Group)
and a new catalog storage pool entry is added.

Specify the port and volume information on the screen, and save the storage pool entry. It can
then be used for future service provisioning requests.

If the SPM catalog entry authorizes it, infrastructure orchestration is able to dynamically adjust the
LUN masking and, if necessary, the host mode for the storage pool entry. If there were no
pre-provisioned volumes to meet the need, and on-demand provisioning is enabled for the template
being used, SPM can create the appropriate storage (and perform automated zoning in a Brocade
SAN environment).
