View storage profiles (physical deployments only)

Storage profiles are preconfigured settings for configuring pools based on the following:

Types of storage resources that will use the pools.
Intended usage of the pool.

For example, create a pool for file system storage resources intended for general use. When configuring a pool, specify the ID of the storage profile to apply to the pool.

NOTE:Storage profiles are not restrictive with regard to storage provisioning. For example, you can provision file systems from an FC or iSCSI database pool. However, the characteristics of the storage will be best suited to the indicated storage resource type and use.

Each storage profile is identified by an ID.

The following table lists the attributes for storage profiles.

Table 1. Storage profile attributes
Attribute	Description
ID	ID of the storage profile.
Type	(Available only for systems that support dynamic pools) Type of pool the profile can create. Value is one of the following: Dynamic Traditional
Description	Brief description of the storage profile.
Drive type	Types of drives for the storage profile.
RAID level	RAID level number for the storage profile. Value is one of the following: 1 - RAID level 1. 5 - RAID level 5. 6 - RAID level 6. 10 - RAID level 1+0.
Maximum capacity	Maximum storage capacity for the storage profile.
Stripe length	Number of drives the data is striped across. NOTE:For best fit profiles, this value is Best fit.
Disk group	List of drive groups recommended for the storage pool configurations of the specified storage profile. This is calculated only when the -configurable option is specified.
Maximum drives to configure	List of the maximum number of drives allowed for the specified storage profile in the recommended drive groups. This is calculated only when the -configurable option is specified.
Maximum capacity to configure	List of the maximum number of free capacity of the drives available to configure for the storage profile in the recommended drive groups. This is calculated only when the -configurable option is specified.

NOTE:The show action command explains how to change the output format.

Format

/stor/config/profile [-id <value> | -driveType <value> [-raidLevel <value>] | -traditional] [-configurable] show

Object qualifier

Qualifier	Description
-id	Type the ID of a storage profile.
-driveType	Specify the type of drive.
-raidLevel	Specify the RAID type of the profile.
-traditional	(Available only for systems that support dynamic pools) Specify this option to view the profiles that you can use for creating traditional pools. To view the profiles you can use for creating dynamic pools, omit this option.
-configurable	Show only profiles that can be configured, that is, those with non-empty drive group information. If specified, calculates the following drive group information for each profile: Disk group Maximum drives to configure Maximum capacity to configure If the profile is for a dynamic pool, the calculated information indicates whether the drive group has enough drives for pool creation. The calculation assumes that the pool will be created with the drives in the specified drive group only.
