Page 2: Specifying the Storage Options
This procedure directly follows Page 1: Identifying the Service Profile Template, on page 519. It describes
how to configure the storage options for a service profile template on the Storage page of the Create Service
Profile Template wizard.
Procedure
Step 1
From the Local Storage drop-down list, choose one of the following:
DescriptionOption
Assigns the default local disk storage policy to every service profile created
from this template.
Continue with Step 4.
Select Local Storage Policy to
use
Enables you to create a local disk policy that can only be accessed by a
service profile created from this template.
Continue with Step 2.
Create a Specific Storage
Policy
Allows you to choose an existing local disk policy from the list at the bottom
of the drop-down list. Cisco UCS Manager assigns this policy to every
service profile created from this template.
If you do not want use any of the existing policies but instead want to create
a new policy that all service profiles and templates can access, continue
with Step 3. Otherwise, continue with Step 4.
Storage Policies Policy_Name
Step 2
(Optional) If you chose Create a Specific Storage Policy and want to create a new policy that can only be
used by service profiles created from this service profile template, do the following:
a) From the Mode drop-down list, choose one of the following:
• No Local Storage—For a diskless server or a SAN only configuration. If you select this option, you
cannot associate any service profile which uses this policy with a server that has a local disk.
• RAID 0 Striped—Data is striped across all disks in the array, providing fast throughput. There is
no data redundancy, and all data is lost if any disk fails.
• RAID 1 Mirrored—Data is written to two disks, providing complete data redundancy if one disk
fails. The maximum array size is equal to the available space on the smaller of the two drives.
• Any Configuration—For a server configuration that carries forward the local disk configuration
without any changes.
• No RAID—For a server configuration that removes the RAID and leaves the disk MBR and payload
unaltered.
