Provisioning storage
The appliance configures available internal storage and any attached supported external storage enclosures for:
•
Repositories\
•
Disk volumes for standby VMs or any other purpose
Before you begin provisioning storage on the disk, determine how much storage you want to allocate for
standby virtual machines. You can allocate any percentage of the available capacity remaining after creating the
Rapid Recovery repository to host standby virtual machines. For example, if you are using Storage Resource
Management (SRM), you can allocate up to 100 percent capacity of the storage remaining after creating the
Rapid Recovery repository. Space can be allocated for standby VMs only on the appliances that are provisioned
to host virtual machines. Using the Rapid Recovery’s Live Recovery feature, you can use these virtual machines
to quickly replace a failed server that the appliance protects.
Based on a medium-sized environment that does not need standby virtual machines, you can use all of the
storage to back up a significant number of agents. However, if you need more resources for standby virtual
machines and back up a smaller number of agent machines, you can allocate more resources for larger VMs.
When you select the Appliance > Provisioning tab, the Rapid Recovery Appliance software locates the available
storage space for all supported controllers in the system and validates that the hardware meets the requirements.
To complete disk provisioning for all available storage:
1. Click Appliance > Provisioning.
The Provisioning screen displays the Repositories and Storage Volumes sections.
