Managing Storage Profiles
Modify a User-Created Profile
Note The standard Storage Profiles packaged with the Storage Center cannot be
modified.
1 In the system tree, select a Storage Profile not created by the system.
2 From the shortcut menu, select Modify. (The Modify command is not available for
Storage Profiles created by the system.)
3 A window similar to the Create Volume window appears, showing the RAID and Tier
setting for this Storage Profile.
4 Select or clear RAID and tier levels.
5 Click Continue. The Name window appears.
6 Change the name of the Storage Profile or accept the default.
7 Optionally, add notes.
8 Click Apply Changes. The Profile is modified.
Note Changes will be applied to all volumes using this profile. Data will begin to move the
next time Data Progression is run.
Delete a User-Created Storage Profile
You cannot delete Storage Profiles that are either:
• Created by the system. To view by whom a Profile is created, select a profile. The
General information window displays the creator.
• In use by a volume. To view which volumes, if any, are in use, select a profile. Click the
Volumes tab.

To delete a user-created storage profile

3 Select the Storage Profile again.
4 From the shortcut menu, select Delete.
5 System Manager asks you to confirm.
6 Click Yes.
Apply a Profile to Volumes

volumes.
