Creating a storage template using volumes

In the Management Server console, you can create a storage template using volumes. Storage templates let you store the volume configuration information in the form of a template so that you can use them on other volumes.

Storage Provisioning and Enclosure Migration Add-on supports only Storage Foundation volumes. RAID5 volumes are not supported.

Note:

Only hosts with VxFS volumes are displayed on the host table. Depending on which host is selected, the disk group choices change. Only disk groups with Storage Foundation volumes are displayed on the disk group table. Depending on which host and disk group are selected, the volume choices change.

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 create a storage template using volumes

  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 Create Template.
  3. In the Create Storage Template wizard, choose Using a volume. Click Next
  4. Select a host, a disk group, and a volume, and click Next.
  5. In the Summary tab, enter a unique storage template name and optionally an operating system and a description. .
  6. Select the file system object from the left navigation tree. Click the Summary, Parameters, and Advanced tabs to view or update the file system name, description and parameters.
