NOTE: The default Matrix template should be edited with caution; any changes made will apply
to all Matrix storage provisioning involving manual specification of storage needs (e.g., manually
defining a storage pool entry using SPM catalog storage, or manually specifying logical disk
information when defining a Matrix service). The default Matrix storage template should not be
deleted or the ability for Matrix to provision storage using SPM will be lost.
Service types
When creating a new template, there are three service types to choose from. For more details on
these see the following:
• SAN connected volume service
• Volume service
• SAN connectivity service
SAN connected volume service
The SAN connected volume service provides a volume with configured connectivity on a SAN. It
is a combination of the other two services, volume and SAN connectivity. When creating a new
template, it is the default service type.
Volume service
The volume service provides a single volume from a storage array.
SAN connectivity service
The SAN connectivity service configures connectivity between endpoints in a SAN.
Requirement types
Service requirements are a specification of a property, behavior, or policy describing a goal state
to which a service or the service resources are managed to conform. When a service containing
requirements is received by SPM, a matching process occurs that evaluates the requirements against
services which could be built from existing resources as well as against resources which could be
created if needed. When a resource is created, it will be constructed meeting the requirements.
When comparing requirements against existing resources, only services or resources matching the
requirements already, or those which could match by running automated reconfiguration on the
resource, satisfy the requirements.
