5 Monitoring the storage catalog
Monitoring the storage catalog is primarily the responsibility of the storage administrator. Tasks
include:
• “Responding to Nonconforming fulfillment” on page 33
• “Monitoring inventory levels” on page 35
Responding to Nonconforming fulfillment
Each goal within a storage request contains a list of constraints which describe the requirements that
must be met by a fulfilling volume service. If at any time a goal is fulfilled by a volume service that
does not meet all of the requirements, the goal is in a Nonconforming state.
The primary action to take for a Nonconforming fulfillment is to view the fulfillment window and see
what requirement is not being met. It may be appropriate to change the configuration of the volume
on the array, change the configuration of the entity in the catalog, or find a volume service which
meets the requirements of the goal and fulfill the goal with that volume service instead.
To bring a volume service into conformance with the requirements of the goal:
• Using automation: Automation can alter the presentation (setting, LUN number, host mode, or
wwn initiators) of a volume to bring it into conformance with the goal.
• Manually: The storage administrator can manually change the configuration of the volume on the
array and/or on the entity in the catalog to make the volume conform to the goal.
To find a volume service that meets the requirements of the goal and to fulfill the goal with that service
volume instead:
1. From the Navigation tree, click on Service Requests. Any Nonconforming fulfillments are marked
with “Nonconforming” in the Fulfillment Status column.
NOTE:
Click the Filters Nonconforming button above the List View pane to show only the
Nonconforming fulfillments.
2. Click the desired request beneath Service Requests in the Navigation tree.
Goals within the service request are displayed in the List View pane.
3. Select the “Nonconforming” goal to be addressed.
