About provisioning service templates

Automation Director provisioning templates automate the provisioning of newly added volumes.
The provisioning templates are designed to provide the following features:
• Automate the provisioning tasks across multiple storage systems to reduce the amount of time to
configure each provisioning request manually.
• Run provisioning services immediately or at a scheduled date and time.
• Assign provisioning services to specific users and service groups so users can run services
independently of an administrator.
• Customization to meet specific operational needs and storage requirements.
Automation Director provides the following provisioning service templates that creates volumes and
allocates them to the specified hosts. You can locate the templates and services that are created by these
templates by using the Add New Storage tag and the tag of the host type.
