Definition File Items

ETERNUS_VOLUME_NAME_TO_DISK_NAME

Select the format of the name of disk resources managed by ESC.

If "true" is specified
The alias name of the ETERNUS LUN will be the disk resource name. If the format of the alias name is not suitable for the format of the disk resource name, Resource Orchestrator automatically sets a disk resource name that conforms to the alias name.
Even if "true" has been specified, when ETERNUS does not support the alias name, the disk resource name will be same as when "false" has been specified.
If "false" is specified
The disk resource name will be as follows, based on the LUN type.
- Open Volume
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS, the RAID group number, and the volume number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_R0x0000_V0x0004
- TPV(Thin Provisioning Volume)
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS, the TPP number, and the volume number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_T0x0000_V0x0005
- FTV(Flexible Tier Volume)
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS, the FTRP number, and the volume number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_F0x0000_V0x0006
If nothing is specified
"false" is set.

Note

If the disk has been separated from the virtual storage and saved, then the ETERNUS LUN alias name is not reflected on the disk resource name even if the value is "true".

ETERNUS_RAIDGROUP_NAME_TO_VSTORAGE_NAME

Select the format of the name of virtual storage resources managed by ESC.

If "true" is specified
The virtual storage resource name will be the RAID group name of the ETERNUS, the TPP name, or the FTRP name. If the format of the RAID group name, the TPP name, or the FTRP name is not suitable for the format of the virtual storage resource name, Resource Orchestrator automatically sets a virtual storage resource name that conforms to the RAID group name, the TPP name, or the FTRP name. Even if "true" has been specified, when ETERNUS does not support the RAID group name, the TPP name, or the FTRP name, the virtual storage resource name will be the same as when "false" has been specified.
If "false" is specified
The following names will be used according the type of the RAID group, TPP, and FTRP.
- RAID group
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS and the RAID group number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_R0x0000
- TPP(Thin Provisioning Pool)
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS and the TPP number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_T0x0000
- FTRP(Flexible Tier Pool)
A name combining the IP address of the ETERNUS and the FTRP number.
Example: P192-168-0-201_F0x0000
If nothing is specified
"false" is set.
