Configure endpoint operation mapping
You can configure endpoint mapping on a storage volume to make a connection to a resource.
Before you begin
Role required: admin
About this task
In the following example, the endpoint mapping that is configured for a storage volume specifies the conditions that must be met and the operation to execute to make a connection to a resource (a virtual server in the example) that supports a binding interface to a storage volume. The storage volume implements the endpoint (type Block EP in the example) and the virtual server consumes the endpoint:
Endpoint mapping for a storage volume
The settings on the example Resource Endpoint Mappings related list specifies the conditions and an action:
- For a resource block that supports a binding interface to a Storage Volume
- For a Source resource with CI type of Storage Volume
- With an Endpoint type of Block EP (cmdb_ci_endpoint_block)
Use the Attach operation to implement the connection. Use the specified Operation Implementation to perform the Attach operation.
Storage volume for a resource block
Procedure
- While configuring a resource block, open the Resource Endpoint Mapping related list, click New, and then specify the following settings:
| Binding Resource | Resource block that consumes the Endpoint that the Source Resource presents. |
| Endpoint | Type of endpoint that the Source Resource presents. |
| Type | Type of operation to perform for the mapping. Only operations that are appropriate for the specified Endpoint appear in the list. |
| Operation implementation | Implementation that is called to perform the operation that you are defining in this mapping. |
| Application | Read-only. Cloud Provisioning and Governance application. |
| Source Resource | Resource block that can present an Endpoint of the type that you specified. You typically do not change this setting. |
- Repeat the process for as many mappings as are needed.
