Managing Storage Domains Overview

You can create, modify, or delete Storage Domain in Oracle Enterprise Manager with the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Flash Storage Systems. You can also associate Drive Enclosures with an existing Storage Domain on the target Oracle FS System.

Storage Domains are logical units that allow you to assign LUNs to a specific collection of Drive Enclosures on a Oracle FS System. All LUNs belong to a Storage Domain. When you create a LUN, it is automatically assigned to the default Storage Domain, or you can specify a different Storage Domain in the Quality of Service (QoS) settings for the LUN.

When you create a Storage Domain, you specify a name for the Storage Domain. Once you create a Storage Domain, you can associate Drive Enclosures with the Storage Domain, and you can assign LUNs to the Storage Domain by specifying the Storage Domain name in the QoS settings for the LUN. You can also make the new Storage Domain the primary Storage Domain.

You can change the name of a Storage Domain or you can change the Drive Enclosures that are associated with the Storage Domain. You can also change whether the Storage Domain is the primary domain, and you can delete a Storage Domain that is no longer needed. To change which LUNs are assigned to the Storage Domain, you must change the specified Storage Domain name in the QoS settings for the LUNs.
