Storage Management
Storage consists of the following: storage groups, service levels, templates, storage resource pools, volumes, external storage, vVols, and disk groups.
Storage Management covers the following areas:
- Storage Group management - Storage groups are a collection of devices that are stored on the array, and an application, a server, or a collection of servers use them.
- Service Level management - A service level is the response time target for a storage group. The service level sets the storage system with the required response time target for a storage group. It automatically monitors and adapts to the workload needed maintain the response time target. The service level includes an optional workload type so it can be optimized to meet performance levels.
- Template management - Using the configuration and performance characteristics of an existing storage group as a starting point, you can create templates that will pre-populate fields in the provisioning wizard and create a more realistic performance reservation in your future provisioning requests.
- Storage Resource Pool management - SRP management provides automated management of storage system disk resources to achieve expected service levels. Disk groups can be configured to form a Storage Resource Pool (SRP) by creating thin pools according to each individual disk technology, capacity, and RAID type.
- Volume management - A storage volume is an identifiable unit of data storage. Storage groups are sets of volumes.
- External Storage management - Attaching external storage to storage systems directs workload movement to these external storage systems while having access to the storage system features such as local replication, remote replication, storage tiering, data management, and data migration. Also, it simplifies multi-vendor or Dell storage system management.
- vVol management - VMware vVols enable data replication, snapshots, and encryption to be controlled at the VMDK level instead of the LUN level, where these data services are performed on a per VM (application level) basis from the storage array.
- Disk Groups management - A disk group is a collection of hard drives within the storage system that share the same performance characteristics.
