See the following table for information regarding support for volumes and host security groups.
Notes from table:
1
Creating volume means marking existing device as accessible to HSG management, deleting
volume means returning device to free device pool.
2
Solutions Enabler 5.0 or later is required.
3
Volumes created on IBM storage systems cannot be deleted.
4
RAID level can be specified for first volume in a pool, subsequent volumes inherit this setting
5
The “Create Volume Using Settings” column refers to the provisioning capability on the
management server that lets you create different kinds of volumes from a pool depending on
whether you want it optimized, such as for streaming, random access or high availability.
6
Unlike the native tool for the Sun 6130 storage system, the management server refers to virtual
disks as storage pools.
