Set up storage classifications in the VMM fabric
Important
This version of Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) has reached the end of support. We recommend you to upgrade to VMM 2022.
Use storage classifications to abstract storage devices in the System Center - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) fabric. You classify storage devices with similar characteristics, and assign these classifications, rather than specific storage devices, to hosts and clusters. The host and cluster can then use any available storage n the classification.
Classifications are often based on storage types or performance characteristics. For example, you could create:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| GOLD | Storage pool based on solid-state drives (SSDs) that delivers high performance for I/O intensive applications |
| SILVER | Fibre Channel Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) storage (RAID 5) |
| BRONZE | iSCSI Serial ATA (SATA) storage (RAID 5) |
Create classifications:
- Select Fabric > Storage, right-click Classification and Pools > Create Classification.
- In New Classification, enter a name and description > Add.
Next steps
Add storage devices to the VMM fabric.
