Clicking the Configuration -> Profiles tab displays the Profile Management page. You can choose a pre-configured profile or create a new one. Filter the profiles to display with the following information:
1) Exact Match - IOPS (1x2, 2x4 array)
2) Exact Match - Bandwidth (1x1, 2x2 array)
3) Exact Match - Capacity (1x3, 2x6 array)
4) Best Available Match - IOPS
5) Best Available Match - Bandwidth
6) Best Available Match - Capacity
Types 1 to 3 match only one array configuration (1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 2x4, 2x6). If a profile has one of these three parameter settings and the specific array is not available, then the profile cannot be applied.
Types 4 to 6 attempt to match the best available array based on the environment (Oops, Bandwidth, Capacity). For example, Best Available Match should be applied to 2x6 but can be applied to 2x4 or 2x2 as well. The system does not determine the best match, but the user selects an array and uses a profile to create pools.
The following rules apply to the three Best Available Match settings:
Note: For the last three choices, the array or system does not determine the best available match.
See the following for more detail:
