When your server pool is fully configured with Oracle VM Servers, network and storage, you use Oracle VM Manager for all management and maintenance operations on the storage repository. The storage resources residing in the repository (ISO files, templates, and so on) are also managed through Oracle VM Manager. Management operations on the storage resources inside a storage repository are discussed in detail in a separate chapter: Section 7.5, “Virtual Machine Resources”. Detailed instructions for the use of different types of storage entities with virtual machines are discussed in Chapter 7, Managing Virtual Machines.
