28 Understanding ISP
Sample ISP deployments
Advanced storage administration tasks are described in the following chapters:
■ “Administering volume templates and other configuration elements” on
page 121
■ “Using capabilities, templates and rules” on page 137
■ “ISP language definition” on page 159
Sample ISP deployments
This section contains high-level examples of how you can configure volume
creation using ISP.
Using storage pool policies
As described in “About storage pool policies” on page 37, a storage pool’s
policies affect how it allocates LUNs to create new volumes, and how it uses
templates. By selecting which templates and LUNs are associated with a storage
pool, and setting appropriate policies on the storage pool, you can control how
storage is allocated to volumes. For example, a storage pool might be composed
entirely of LUNs that have a hardware snapshot capability (for example, EMC
Business Continuity Volumes).
Setting the AutoGrow policy to pool ensures that the entire storage pool
remains snapshot-capable as illustrated in Figure 1-7.
