NOTE: The default Matrix template should be edited with caution; any changes made 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
NOTE: Matrix OE uses only the SAN connected volume service type.
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.
