Allocating storage
Volumes are allocated to hosts for applications needing storage. A variety of methods for allocating
volumes is available. For example, you can select one or more hosts, then identify and allocate existing
volumes. You can also select one or more volumes, then identify the host that needs the volumes. You
can also establish I/O paths between hosts and volumes when you allocate volumes.
To prepare for loss of data caused by disk failure, disasters, or other issues, you can manage the
redundancy of important operational data by creating a replication environment for volumes within
a storage system or between storage systems.
By using logical groups, volumes can be managed as a group for purposes of organization and
simplification of user tasks.
Monitoring storage
You can check the status of storage resources to detect problems and output reports to a CSV file
containing search results or configuration and capacity information about storage systems, hosts,
volumes, logical groups, and other storage resources.
If you have the Tiered Storage Manager license, you can see the operational status of storage resources
from the Mobility tab and perform integrated operations to optimize data placement.
This information can be used to migrate volumes or add THP/Smart pool volumes to optimize storage
resources. The following graphics illustrate the flow of monitoring and checking the status of storage
resources. To check daily operational status, inquiries from a host or application administrator, or for
Service Level Objective (SLO) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) inquiries, see the respective figures
below:
