Software prerequisites
The following software is required to use the Allocate Volumes from Virtual Storage Machine service
template:
XP7 Configuration Manager v8.5.4-00 or later
NOTE:
To use the Data Mobility services, an administrator must install the XP7 Configuration Manager
REST API on each site and register the storage systems by using the
Add Web Service Connections
option on the
Administration
tab. In addition, the administrator must assign a common resource group
name to all of the VSMs used in the data mobility services and then update the associated shared
property using the
Set Service Shared Property
option. Detailed information for Admin users is provided
in the documentation for Configuring XP7 Configuration Manager REST API connections and the
documentation for Modifying shared service properties for data mobility services.

• Install XP7 Configuration Manager and register information for all remote storage systems used by this
service.
• Create one web service connection for the XP7 Configuration Manager REST API that uses the same
