Vmax Allocation:: What Is Thin Provisioning?

The document provides steps for auto provisioning storage in a Vmax array with examples: 1) Create an initiator group with host WWNS; 2) Create a port group with director ports; 3) Create a storage group with devices; 4) Create a port/masking view associating the initiator, port, and storage groups. Thin provisioning optimizes storage efficiency by allocating disk space flexibly among users based on minimum space required, rather than pre-allocating the maximum amount.

Vmax Allocation: Please find the following steps for auto provisioning in Vmax with examples. Step 1.

Create Initiator group by using your host wwn's. symaccess -sid 034 create -name xxxx -type initiator -wwn 10000000c974aa75 symaccess -sid 034 -name xxxx -type initiator add -wwn 10000000c974a6c7 Step 2. Create Port Group. symaccess -sid 034 create -name yyyy -type port -dirport 9e:0,11e:0. Step 3. Creation of Storage group. symaccess -sid 034 create -name zzzz -type storage symaccess -sid 034 -name zzzz -type storage add devs 2597:2604 Step 4. Creat of PMR. symaccess -sid 034 create view -name AAAA -ig xxxx -pg yyyy -sg zzzz

What is Thin Provisioning? Thin provisioning is a method of optimizing the efficiency with which the available space is utilized in storage area networks. Thin provisioning operates by allocating disk space in a flexible manner among multiple users, based on the minimum space required by each user at any given time.
