182 EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter
Configuring and Controlling Your Datacenter
To create the new policy, the administrator:
1. Names the policy CLARIION_FREE_DEVICES, and ensures that Use this policy as
system default is cleared.
This is a policy unique to CLARiiON array deallocations and will not be the
standard policy that the administrator uses to deallocate storage for every array.
2. Ensures that Disable Host Actions is cleared, and selects Before Executing Tasks,
Rediscover host and fail on error.
This means that the wizard checks which devices are currently in use, and will fail
the deallocation task if storage is still in use by the host.
3. Selects After Executing Tasks, Rediscover Hosts.
This tells Ionix ControlCenter to rediscover the host after the deallocation and
update the Repository so all users will see accurate data about the host.
4. Selects Array Actions, Delete device.
This deletes any deallocated devices that are no longer part of
any path.
5. Clicks Save to save the new policy and return to the Allocation -- Deallocate dialog
box.
6. Ensures that the (CLARIION_FREE_DEVICES) deallocation policy is selected and
clicks Next.
