Storage

A Storage component refers to the physical storage components that can be added to a template. It is

recommended to provision a storage resource first and then configure virtual resources and applications

while building a template.

The following storage resource types are provisioned in ASM:

• Compellent

• EqualLogic Chap

After selecting Storage on the template builder page, you can perform the following actions:

• Perform settings on Compellent and EqualLogic CHAP storage resource properties that display on the

right of the page (for more information, see Storage Settings).

NOTE: The Select a Component drop-down list allows you to select from Compellent and

EqualLogic CHAP storage components, as defined in ASM. Based on your resource selection, the

page displays specific resource properties for you to perform settings.

• Select Related Components to be mapped with the selected storage resource type (for more

information about valid component combinations that can be mapped together in a template, see

Component Combinations).

• To add a Storage Component, click Add.

NOTE: Currently, you can add only one instance of each storage component type while building a

template.
