Creating storage tags – HP Matrix Operating Environment Software User Manual

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).
For more detailed information on the use cases and how storage is managed in Matrix OE
visualization, see the HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) User Guide, HP Matrix Operating
Environment Logical Server Management User Guide, and the Faster storage provisioning in an
HP BladeSystem Matrix and Insight Dynamics environment white paper at the following website:
Creating storage tags
Matrix infrastructure orchestration uses the tags selected from the Tag List in the storage pool entry
to match the logical disk tags provided in the infrastructure orchestration designer.
IMPORTANT:
When logical disk tags are specified in the template design, only volumes with the
exact tags are allocated. If logical disk tag information is not provided, the allocation process
ignores the storage volume tags.
To create storage tags:
1.
Using Systems Insight Manager, select Tools
→HP Matrix OE visualization.
2.
Select Modify
→Logical Server Storage Pools.
The Manage Storage Pool page appears.
3.
Click Manage Tags.
The Manage Storage Tags page appears.
