HP 3PAR Management Console 4.5.1 Software User Guide

24 Managing Provisioning
The Provisioning Manager allows you to perform all provisioning tasks for your HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage System. These tasks include:
• Creating, editing, and maintaining virtual volumes, virtual volume sets, and virtual volume
templates, as well as exporting virtual volumes.
• Creating, editing, and maintaining CPGs and CPG templates.
• Additionally, the Provisioning manager provides several ways to monitor the health of your
system's provisioning.
To learn how to use the Provisioning manager, see the following sections:
“Viewing Provisioning for All Systems” (page 351)
“Viewing Provisioning for a Single System” (page 352)
“Managing Common Provisioning Groups ” (page 118)
“Virtual Volumes” (page 142)
“Creating Virtual Volume Sets” (page 154)
“Managing VLUNs” (page 185)
“Creating Templates” (page 456)
NOTE: Domain users can only view information within domains they have access to.
If you are a domain user, you can perform any provisioning task through the Domains node in the
management tree. The information and procedures when working in the Domains node are identical
to those under the Storage Systems node, except information is filtered by domain.
