HP Insight Orchestration 6.0 User Guide

For each array, select the volume(s) to be imported.
Insight Orchestration “Static” SAN volume automation approach involves SAN volumes that are pre-masked
to one more initiator WWNs within the SAN and zoning is also pre-configured. These pre-created volumes
are then imported into SPM and made available. SPM has a pre-populated catalog that is used to fulfill
storage requests.
SPM also provides support for “Dynamic” SAN volume automation. Unfulfilled storage requests are easily
visible in the SPM interface, and the storage administrator can view those requests and create, present, and
zone the appropriate SAN volumes using the initiator WWN included in the request. Catalog entries contain
the volume information imported or manually entered, and authorizations can be specified at the catalog
entry level, for instance, indicating an entry does support LUN masking for particular user groups.
Once the SPM catalog has been populated, proceed to Virtualization Manager’s storage pool entry interface
and build one or more storage pool entries which reference the volumes just imported through SPM. The
following example illustrates the selection of a Linux SAN volume to build a storage pool entry containing
a 20 GB, RAID 5 boot disk.
