Cloud configuration

To take advantage of the simplified provisioning and optimization capabilities in IBM Spectrum® Control, some configuration is required.

Discontinued support: Cloud configuration, provisioning, and optimization are no longer supported in IBM Spectrum Control. While these features might still work in this release, it's recommended that you use another tool for your provisioning and optimization needs, when possible. For a complete list of discontinued features, see Discontinued features in IBM Spectrum Control.

To provision storage, you are required to specify only the storage capacity and storage quality that is required. After volumes are created, IBM Spectrum Control can analyze and optimize volume performance. To take advantage of these capabilities, create service classes and, optionally, capacity pools.

A tutorial of cloud configuration concepts is available in the GUI. In the menu bar, go to Advanced Analytics > Cloud Configuration, and click Learn the Concepts.
