Storage Administration Tasks:

Check PowerMax health checks, indicating the status of various system components and overall health

Snapshot creation efficiently by sharing snapshot deltas which are changes made since the last snapshot directly in the Storage Resource Pool

Monitoring in PowerMax storage, creating a Storage Resource Pool (SRP) to logically group storage resources, enabling efficient capacity and performance management

By default a single SRP is preconfigured, but additional ones can be created to segregate workloads and apply specific data reduction policies

Better control over storage utilization, performance optimization and the application of data reduction techniques like compression and deduplication

Troubleshooting if any performance issues and connectivity problems within the storage network. Implement and configure a new backup and recovery solution

Create new storage group for Storage groups allow you to monitor the performance of specific sets of devices, providing more targeted insights into resource utilization and potential bottlenecks

Port groups aggregate multiple ports under a common configuration and provide a stable anchor point for virtual machines connecting to labeled networks

Create Host groups allow you to logically segment your network based on function, department, or other criteria. This can improve network security and make it easier to troubleshoot issues

Create a new masking view to grant access to that server without affecting other servers Examine the storage logs for root cause of issues such as performance bottlenecks, storage errors or configuration problems

Create new share for Windows-based clients to easily connect to and access data stored on the PowerMax NAS storage

Tree quota expand to create and expand tree quotas modify existing tree quotas to expand their capacity

Give soft quota limit to expand a soft quota, modify the Soft Limit capacity and/or Hard Limit capacity fields as per request

Create file system on PowerMax NAS storage for proper allocation of storage resources, enabling efficient file sharing and data management within the NAS environment

Expand the volume storage capacity available to a host or application, allowing for growth without disrupting ongoing operations

Increase user data space in storage capacity allocated for user data files and directories, as opposed to system or metadata storage

Create new departmental drive to isolate data for different applications or users, improving security and manageability

Create new LUN in PMAX SAN. LUNs allow you to divide a physical storage volume into smaller, manageable units

Create an existing LUN in the GUI within a specific storage group to grant access to that LUN for the hosts associated with that storage group

Monitor critical alerts after updating the firmware and addressing environmental factors, continue monitoring the system to confirm that alerts are resolved

Raise hardware-related incidents with vendor (OEM) and co-ordinate to resolve the issues

Expand volume for ENAS configurations, integrated with overall storage provisioning and management for file-based storage

Set the bandwidth utilization during peak business hours using the synchronous performance rule

Identify expired or unused snapshots from snapshot management features for deletion

Ensure proper security procedures and secure deletion methods when deleting sensitive data
