HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.3 User Guide

8. On the Configure Activation screen, there are three options to activate the service.
• Activate now.
• Schedule activation for a later time—Enter a specific date and time for the activation of
the service.
• Do not activate—Activation can be done at a later time from the Storage Services page
using the Configure Requirements button.
Make a selection and click Finish.
If you selected “Activate now” or “Schedule activation for a later time”, the Job Manager
screen appears showing the progress of the service activation. If you selected “Do not activate”,
you are returned to the last screen before the Provision Storage Service Wizard was launched.

Manually assigning a volume to a storage service
To manually assign a volume to a storage service:
NOTE: Manually assigning a volume to a storage service circumvents the logic to match volumes
based on the requirements defined in the service. In general, the normal activation process should
be used to activate storage services and bring them into the Resourced state. If a manually-assigned
volume does not meet all of the requirements defined in the storage service, the service enters the
Nonconformant state. See Responding to storage services.
1. Select an existing Unresourced storage service.
2. Click Storage Service Actions then select the Manually Assign Volume option.
The Provision Storage Service Wizard appears.
3. Choose a Volume.
