Provisioning storage

In the Management Server console, you can provision storage using a storage template.

To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.

To provision storage

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective, expand Solutions in the left pane, and click Storage Provisioning.
  2. In the Actions pane, click Provision Storage.
  3. Select a host and a disk group that the storage should be provisioned on. (When you select a host, the associated disk groups are displayed for your selection.) Click Next.
  4. Select a storage template.

    If Ask is selected in the storage template for the size or for the mount point, you can edit the corresponding fields.

  5. Click Finish to provision storage. The task information is displayed so that you can track the task in the Tasks pane. Click Close.
