Notes from table:

1Creating volume means marking existing device as accessible to HSG management, deleting volume means returning device to free device pool.

2Solutions Enabler 5.0 or later is required.

3Volumes created on IBM storage systems cannot be deleted.

4RAID level can be specified for first volume in a pool, subsequent volumes inherit this setting

5The “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.

6Unlike the native tool for the Sun 6130 storage system, the management server refers to virtual disks as storage pools.
