Allocating storage resources as datastores

Volumes in P9000 Command View AE Suite storage systems are used to create datastores.

Conditions:

• The storage administrator has provided P9000 Command View AE Suite storage resources.

• The virtualization servers to manage are in the Hosts list.

TIP:

If the above conditions are not met, ask the P9000 Command View AE Suite storage administrator

to perform the operations described in Chapter 2 on page 15.

Information to collect in advance

• IP address or host name of the virtualization server on which the datastore will be created

• Name of the datastore to be created

• Capacity of the storage resource to allocate to the datastore

To allocate a storage resource for a datastore:

1. Select the P9000 Provisioning tab in VMware vSphere Client.

2. From the Hosts tab, select one or more virtualization servers on which you want to create a

datastore, and then click the Add Storage button.

TIP:

To create a datastore shared by multiple virtualization servers, perform the operation after

selecting multiple lines.

3. From the dialog box, select the Datastore radio button, and then enter a datastore name and the

required capacity.

The following items can be optionally specified:

• Storage system

Specify a storage system if you want to limit the storage systems used as allocation sources.

• Volume type

Specify a volume type if you want to use a basic volume (LDEV) or a THP volume that uses

thin provisioning (Smart Pool or Thin Provisioning) as the allocation source.

• Path Options

Specify the LUN path if path redundancy needs to be considered or the storage administrator

provides you with detailed settings to specify.

4. Click the Show Plan button.

A volume allocation plan that meets the specified conditions is displayed.
