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
• NetApp
After selecting Storage on the Template Builder page, perform the following actions:
1. In the Storage Component dialog box, from the Select a Component drop-down list, select one of
the storage components:
• Compellent
• EqualLogic
• NetApp
2. Under Related Components, select the components that you want to map with the selected storage
type. For more information about valid component combinations that can be mapped together in a
template, see Component Combinations in Templates
3. Click Continue.
4. Under <component name> Storage Settings, specify the properties for the storage component and
click Add.
For more information about the storage settings, see Storage Settings
NOTE: Currently, you can add only one instance of Compellent storage type while building a
template. However, you can add multiple EqualLogic storage components in the template.
