IMPORTANT: For SAN Catalog Storage Entries and SAN Pre-populated Catalog Storage Entries,
the Remove Volume action returns the storage volume to the storage catalog as an available
resource. Unmask catalog-based storage volumes before removing the storage volumes. For non-boot
volumes, uncheck the Masked check box. For boot volumes, use HP Storage Provisioning Manager
to change the presentation state of the storage volume.

Validation status
After you have specified your storage pool entry, you can optionally confirm that the server WWN
has been associated with the storage port WWN and LUN by pressing the Validate button.
Validation on this screen is not available for SAN Catalog Storage Entries and SAN Pre-populated
Catalog Storage Entries. Catalog-based storage is validated when presentation is complete.
See “Validating storage” (page 57) for more information.

Press Get/Refresh Pool Entries to see updated status. The values that can be displayed in the Status
column are:
• Presentation Initiated

• Presentation Completed with Errors
• Inoperable (can be displayed with any other status)
