HP Insight Virtualization Manager 6.3 Software with Logical Server Management User Guide

For information about creating a storage pool entry, see “Create a storage pool entry” (page 79).
1. Click the Select Storage Type drop-down menu and select one of the following storage types.
Available selections depend on the Portability Group for the logical server.
(The SAN Catalog Storage Entry and SAN Pre-populated Catalog Storage Entry storage types
are available on the Manage Storage Pool screen only.)
• SAN Storage Entry: For cross-technology logical servers (Server with Virtual Connect and
ESX Host), Virtual Connect logical servers, Operations Orchestration workflow logical
servers, and virtual machine logical servers using RDM
NOTE: Each Operations Orchestration workflow physical server can have only one
storage pool entry. To add or present additional volumes to the Operations Orchestration
workflow physical server, modify the associated storage pool entry.
• File (VM) Storage Entry: For virtual machine logical servers. File (VM) storage can reside
on a datastore (local drive or SAN)
2. If you are creating a virtual machine logical server, select a Data store from the drop-down
menu.
3. Press the Create Storage Entry button, which displays the Storage Entry: SAN or Storage Entry:
File (VM) screen, depending on the storage type you selected. This screen allows you to define
and view your logical server storage configuration.

Defining a SAN storage entry
The SAN Storage Entry screen allows you to add, modify, or view a SAN or RDM storage entry.
You can optionally save the storage entry details you enter on this screen into a storage pool entry
that can be shared by other logical servers.
IMPORTANT: If you configure your Virtual Connect logical server to use a local disk, you cannot
move that logical server. Additionally, after you activate the logical server, you cannot reactivate
it on a different system.
Perform the following steps to define a SAN or RDM storage entry.
1. Enter the “SAN storage entry definition” (page 76)
2. Enter the “Port definition” (page 76)
3. Enter the “Volume and path definition” (page 77)
4. Optional: Verify “Validation status” (page 78)
