Abstract:
1. A method of mounting storage in a provisioning process, comprising: receiving, by a provisioning platform, a set of storage allocations associated with at least one target computing machine in a managed network, the set of storage allocations comprising a storage requirement of the at least one target computing machine and stored in a provisioning profile of the provisioning platform; identifying the at least one target computing machine to a storage area network, wherein at least one of the storage area network or the managed network uses a network file system (NFS) file configuration; accessing, by a processor, a set of storage specifications associated with the at least one target computing machine, wherein the set of storage specifications specifies storage resources of the storage area network to fulfill the set of storage allocations associated with the at least one target computing machine; mounting the storage resources of the storage area network for the at least one target computing machine based on the set of storage specifications, wherein the mounting storage resources comprises generating a network path to associate the storage resources with the at least one target computing machine; and adding the at least one target computing machine to a netgroup to register the at least one target computing machine to the NFS file configuration.
