Register Array Management Provider dialog box
Provider Type The type of AMP used to manage the array. When provisioning from XtremIO arrays, select REST. For all
other arrays, select SMI-S. For XtremIO v3.0, metro node requires one REST AMP per array. Therefore,
if you are using multiple v3.0 arrays, register a REST AMP for each array. For XtremIO v4.0, one REST
AMP can manage multiple v4.0 arrays. When you enter the array credentials, metro node automatically
detects the array versions managed by the XMS.
Provider name Type a user-friendly name for the AMP.
IP Address Type the IP address of the AMP.
Port The port number to use with the IP address to create the URL that connects to the AMP. Although a
default port number is provided, you can use any valid port number.
User Name The username used to log into the AMP.
Password The password used to log into the AMP.
Use SSL Determines how the secure socket layer (ssl) protocol is used.
- For SMI-S AMPs, select this check box to use https when connecting to the AMP's URL. If unchecked,
http is used.
- For REST AMPs, https is required, therefore, the check box is selected by default.
Add capacity to virtual volumes
Use this dialog box to expand a virtual volume using concatenation.
Add Capacity to
Virtual Volume
The selected virtual volume that you want to expand.
Current Capacity The size of the selected virtual volume.
Additional
Capacity Needed
Enter the amount of space to add to this virtual volume. Metro node will look for volumes with at
least that available capacity. To enter the value using a different unit, select the correct unit from the
drop-down list. When you enter the amount of space needed, you can click Show Available to list the
storage volumes with a minimum capacity equal to the additional capacity needed. If you change the
capacity needed, click Show Available again to update Available Storage Volumes list.
Total New
Capacity
The new size of the virtual volume based on the additional capacity needed.
Available storage
volumes
The list of available storage volumes to choose from based on the additional capacity needed. The name
of the storage volume and the largest free chunk available in the storage volume are displayed.
Extent properties
Extent Name
The name of the extent. You can change the name of the extent from this dialog box. By default, extents
are named after the underlying storage volume with the prefix "extent_".
Use Indicates whether the extent is currently in use. Possible values: Claimed or Used.
Used By The name of the device created from the extent.
Storage Volume The name of the underlying storage volume.
Block Count The number of blocks in the underlying extent.
Block Offset The starting block number for the extent. If not specified, extents are created using sequential block
numbers on a storage volume. To specify the starting block number, use the CLI.
Block Size The size of the data blocks used internally when managing I/O. The block size determines the granularity
of disk I/O and the rebuild rate of distributed devices.
Capacity The size of the extent.
