23 Managing Provisioning The Provisioning Manager allows you to perform all provisioning tasks for your HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System. These tasks include: • Creating, editing, and maintaining virtual volumes, virtual volume sets, and virtual volume templates, as well as exporting virtual volumes. • Creating, editing, and maintaining Common Provisioning Groups (CPGs) and CPG templates. • Additionally, the Provisioning manager provides several ways to monitor the health of your system's provisioning. To learn how to use the Provisioning manager, see the following: "Viewing Provisioning for All Systems" (page 330) "Viewing Provisioning for a Single System" (page 331) "Managing Common Provisioning Groups " (page 107) "Virtual Volumes" (page 131) "Creating Virtual Volume Sets" (page 143) "Managing VLUNs" (page 171) "Creating Templates" (page 359) NOTE: If you are a domain user, only information within the domain(s) you have access to, will be visible. If you are a domain user, you can perform any provisioning task via the Domains node in the management tree. The information and procedures when working in the Domains node are identical to those under the Storage Systems node, except information is filtered by domain. Viewing Provisioning for All Systems To view provisioning for all connected systems: 1. In the Manager Pane, click Provisioning. 2. In the Management Tree, click Storage Systems. The Provisioning screen provides information on two tabs: "Summary Tab" (page 330) and "Alerts Tab" (page 331). Summary Tab 330 Managing Provisioning
