DFM 4.0 - Aggregate selection not possible when provisioning new vFiler

Hi!

When I create a new vFiler in Prov.Mgr. 4.0 using Ressource Pools, DFM will create the root volume for the vFile "somewhere" in any of the aggregates on the ressouce pool.

First I have tried to create a ressource pool with appropriate aggregates only (no Storage Systems in the pool, just aggregates). When I try to create the vFiler (Hosts > vFiler Units > Add), I get the error "There are no storage systems in the ressource pool". Ok.

Then I added a Storage System and ONE specific aggregate (a specific Tier-Level). But when I create a vFiler, DFM uses any of the aggregates of the storage system, not only the one in the spec. Ressouce Pool.

IMHO the selection of a "Label" is missing in the vFiler Add wizard to select a specific Tier for the vFiler root volume.

Same happens when a vFiler is migrated. The Provisioning Policy for the Dataset is used for the DATA Volumes of the vFiler, but not for the root volume!

Any ideas?

kr,

Matthias

I opened RFE 324997 for this exact feature in Nov 2008.
