Access Storage Systems in Oracle VM

After you have installed the Oracle VM Storage Connect Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems and successfully logged in, you can add and register an Oracle FS System. The Oracle FS System is displayed in the Oracle VM Manager. You can view the utilization of storage in your Oracle FS System storage objects, as well as storage from other vendors from within the Oracle VM Manager.

Prerequisites:
  • The Oracle FS System to be accessed has been added and has been registered with Oracle VM.

  • The Oracle VM Storage Connect Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems has been installed in Oracle VM Manager.

  1. In the Oracle VM Manager, select the Storage tab.
  2. From the available SAN servers in the navigation tree, select the Oracle FS System you want to access.
  3. To see information about or manage different aspects of your storage, select one of the following from the Perspective: drop-down list at the top of the content pane:
    Info
    Shows configuration information for the Oracle FS System.
    Physical Disks
    Shows information about the physical disks on the system, and provides a toolbar from which you can select to view, add, edit, remove, or clone a physical disk.
    Access Groups
    • Lists the access groups (Oracle FS System SAN hosts) from which you can select.

    • Provides a toolbar from which you can select to view, add, edit, present, or unpresent a disk to or from an access group, or remove an access group.

    Note: For information about configuring storage array access through access groups, refer to the Oracle VM documentation on the Oracle Technical Network (http://docs.oracle.com).
    Volume Groups
    Shows information about the volume groups on the system, and provides a toolbar from which you can select to view a volume group.
    Events
    Shows information about the Oracle VM and Oracle Storage Connect events on the system, and provides a toolbar from which you can select to view or acknowledge events.
    Note: These are Oracle VM events, not Oracle FS System events.

For more information, refer to the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide and the Oracle VM documentation on the Oracle Technical Network (http://docs.oracle.com).
