Operating Environment Software Instruction Manual

From the left navigation bar, select Volumes, then select volumes to import and press Import
Volumes.
After the SPM catalog has been populated, you can do the following:
• Continue to use pre-provisioned storage (no additional steps are needed)
• Allow infrastructure orchestration to automatically generate storage pool entries (no additional
steps are needed)
• Enable on-demand storage provisioning (see “Enabling on-demand storage provisioning in
SPM” (page 144))
• Predefine storage pool entries using the Matrix OE visualization’s storage pool entry screens
and build one or more storage pool entries that reference the volumes just imported through
SPM (see “Predefining storage pool entries in Matrix OE visualization” (page 140))
Enabling on-demand storage provisioning in SPM
There are two ways to enable on-demand provisioning:
• In the HP Matrix Default Storage Template. On-demand provisioning will apply to all requests
from logical server management and those from IO that manually specify logical disk
