Hands Free Capacity Provisioning
Very large virtual disk
assigned to each server
Servers ‘think’ they have all the
storage they want…
Small fraction of real capacity
allocated to each virtual disk
SANmelody automatically
allocates additional space
when used
…but they only get what they need.

Auto Provisioning Saves Time and Effort
Traditional Disk Provisioning
1.
Determine which Application is running
out of space
2. Determine how to add storage (extend
Volume/LUN, add LUN, etc.)
3. Determine how much storage to add.
4. Determine where to get storage.
5. Allocate storage from Pool.
6. Set protection (LUN masks) for
Applications to see correct storage.
7. Set switch zoning and HBA settings if
applicable.
8. Add storage to App. LUN or create new
App. LUN
Note: Typically requires reboots and
downtime
9. Perform Volume formatting, Volume
Management, Configure OS and Apps.
to be able to use the larger LUN or new
LUN
