Viewing the audit log

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

.

Adding a new datastore

You can add a new datastore to 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.

•

P4000 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.

•

P4000 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.
