Field Name Description
EqualLogic Storage Settings
Target EqualLogic Species the EqualLogic storage device where the volume is created.
Storage Volume Name
Select one of the following options:
• Auto-generate storage volume name: Displays the Volume Name Template eld. Auto-
generate storage volume name option includes a numerical variable which is used by ASM
to automatically generate a volume name for the storage at the time of deployment.
• Select an existing storage volume: Displays the Existing Volume Name drop-down menu.
This option allows you to select from an inventory of existing storage volumes.
• Specify a new storage volume name now: Displays the New Volume Name eld. This
option allows you to type a new volume name.
NOTE: You can create multiple templates using the same volume name. However,
after a template is deployed, all other templates with the same volume name must
be modied to use a dierent name.
• Specify storage volume name at time of deployment: Allows you to specify the volume
name at the time of service deployment.
New volume name Enter the name of the volume in EqualLogic. A volume is a logical partition in the EqualLogic
storage array. The EqualLogic CHAP users have the access to these storage volumes. More
than one chap users can have access to the EqualLogic volume.
Storage Pool Species pool name where a volume is. The default storage pool value is Default.
Storage Size (e.g. 500 MB, 1 GB) Species the volume size.
Thin Provisioning Enables thin provisioning on this volume. The possible values are enable or disable.
Snapshot Reserve % Refers to the amount of space, as a percentage of the volume size, to reserve for a snapshot.
Thin Min Reserve % Sets the minimum reserved size for thin provisioned volume congured as percentage of total
volume size. This value cannot be less than 10%.
Thin growth Warning % Sets the warning threshold percentage for thin-provisioned volume. When the thin-reserve
reaches this value, a warning message is displayed. The default value is 60%.
Thin growth Maximum % Sets the maximum growth percentage for thin volume. When thin-reserve reaches this value,
the volume is set to oine. The default value is 80%.
