Introducing Storage Provisioner
23 OpenView Storage Provisioner User Guide
Provisioning Framework
The Storage Provisioner environment consists of a Storage Area Network (SAN)
that includes host systems (servers), storage systems, controllers, network, a
Management Appliance, and storage software.

Storage Provisioner also discovers existing storage systems that are already
configured as a part of your SAN. Once discovered, they display in an
Unmanaged Systems group. Then, you can move them into utilities for
management by Storage Provisioner. Additionally, if changes are made to your
SAN outside of Storage Provisioner (for example, by using one of the HSG
Element Manager or the Command View EVA), you can acknowledge those
changes in Storage Provisioner by using the Discover task within Storage
Provisioner.
