Managing tasks for provisioning

Provisioning tasks are used to create storage volumes and assign the volumes to servers or hypervisors. Provisioning tasks are also used to create network-attached storage (NAS) file shares. Use the Tasks page in the GUI to manage all the tasks that are used by IBM Spectrum® Control to provision storage. Use resource list and resource details pages to manage the provisioning tasks for specific resources and resource types.

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

Use the GUI to complete the following provisioning actions:

Create provisioning tasks
Run provisioning tasks immediately
Schedule provisioning tasks to run at a specified date and time
Export information about provisioning tasks to text files
Delete provisioning tasks
