Provisioning storage
You can assign storage to servers, hypervisors, and clusters on servers and hypervisors in the GUI.
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.
You can also assign the following types of storage to servers, hypervisors, and clusters on
servers and hypervisors:
- Volumes
- NAS file shares
When you assign storage, you must associate the storage with a service class. You can associate the storage with a default service class such as gold, silver, or bronze, or you can create a user-defined service class. You can also create capacity pools to restrict the provisioning of storage to a defined set of storage resources such as pools on a storage system in a particular location.
