Provisioning storage
You can assign storage to servers, hypervisors, and clusters on servers and hypervisors in the GUI.
About this task
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.
