• A REST-based API to provide full management programmability and control
in addition to unified file-based management support.
• Storage Advisor enables automated SAN zoning during volume attach and
detach. Optional auto-zoning eliminates the need for repetitive zoning
tasks to be performed on the switch.
Unified management of block storage and file storage
Storage Advisor can be used to onboard and configure both block storage and
file storage if NAS modules are included in the chassis of a supported storage
system.
Understand block and file storage
• Block storage:
In block storage, volumes of storage are created. A server-based operating
system can connect to each block of storage and control it as an individual
hard drive. Each storage block can be individually formatted with the
required file system, such as NTFS or VMFS. Block storage systems are
typically deployed in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment.
From the dashboard of Storage Advisor, you can discover, register, and
onboard a block storage system.
• File storage:
Storage Advisor supports unified onboarding and configuration of file
storage in the form of NAS modules.
If a supported storage system includes NAS modules, the file storage is
automatically added with the block storage. Then file pools and other file
resources can be created in the Storage Advisor interface or by using the
API.
Adding block and file storage together
Storage Advisor enables you to add block and file storage in a single step.
The only requirements are the service processor (SVP) IP address, user
name, and password. When the file storage is added, the cluster is
automatically registered in Storage Advisor.
Unified configuration
Once a storage system is onboarded, all block and file resources can be
configured and managed from a single Storage System page. File pool
creation workflow incorporates best practices that simplify workflow and
enhance usability. The file pools are used to easily create virtual file servers,
file systems, and shares and exports. File system creation automatically
mounts and formats the new file system.
Unified reporting
Capacity is reported for all aggregated storage systems in the dashboard.
