6 Managing storage catalog entities
Managing storage catalog entities is the responsibility of the storage administrator and the storage
architect. The storage administrator, in general, will be responsible for resources such as arrays,
storage pools, volumes and networks; and to some degree, storage services. The roles, security
groups and templates are generally owned by the storage architect. Tasks handled by the architect
and administrator include adding, modifying, searching, and deleting these entities.
Managing arrays
For information on importing an array see Importing an array
Viewing and modifying array properties (Overview tab)
To view or modify the basic properties of an array:
1. In the Navigation tree, select Arrays.
The list of arrays appears in the content pane.
2. From the content pane, select the appropriate array.
The properties for the selected array are displayed, and can be reviewed, in the Overview
tab. This includes array status and identifying information.
3. To edit these properties, click Edit Array. On the Overview tab, the user can modify information
related to the array such as tags for the array, connection information, and quarantine status.
NOTE: Specific content that can be modified will be dependent on the particular storage
array.
When all changes are complete, click Apply. If additional changes are required on other
tabs, click the appropriate tab. When finished, click OK.
Viewing array storage pools (Storage Pools tab)
To view the storage pools of an array:
1. In the Navigation tree, select Arrays.
The list of arrays appears in the content pane.
2. From the content pane, select the appropriate array.
The properties for the selected array are displayed.
3. Click the Storage Pools tab.
Information for array storage pools that are managed by SPM is displayed. This includes
volume counts and tags for each of the managed storage pools.
Viewing array volumes (Volumes tab)
To view the volumes of an array:
1. In the Navigation tree, select Arrays.
The list of arrays appears in the content pane.
2. From the content pane, select the appropriate array.
The properties for the selected array are displayed.
3. Click the Volumes tab.
Information for array volumes that are managed by SPM is displayed. This includes the name
of the storage pool containing the volume, tags, the volume capacity, and, optionally, the
name of the storage service that the volume is bound to.
