Add Volumes to SAN Storage Libraries
12c Release 3 (12.3.1.0.0)
E60013-02
December, 2015
This guide provides an end-to-end example for how to use Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
Description of how Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center organizes its storage resources.
A storage library can use block storage or file system storage. Block storage is backed by Fibre Channel disks or iSCSI disks in the form of Logical Units or LUNs. The LUNs store virtualization hosts' metadata and data and are assigned to storage libraries.
For LUNs backed by Fibre Channel disks, the block storage is static. From the user interface of Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, you cannot change the size of the LUNs, delete them, or create new LUNs. However, you can add more LUNs to the library or remove LUNs if they are not in use. The number of LUNs in the storage library determines the number of virtual hosts that the library can support.
In this document, you use Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center to locate a specific LUN in one storage library and add it to an existing storage library.

Procedure for adding a SAN volume in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
These procedures demonstrate how to assign a set of LUNs to the storage capacity available to a guest.
Description of the status of the guest’s storage when the procedure is completed.
The guest now has the added storage capacity to store its metadata and data.
