# About storage systems

A storage system (or storage array) is a storage device from which logical disks (volumes) can be provisioned and mapped or masked to servers. Bringing SAN storage systems under management of the appliance enables you to add and create volumes. You can then attach volumes to server profiles through volume attachments. This enables the server hardware assigned to the server profiles to access the SAN storage system.

When adding a storage system, you must choose a domain on the storage system. You can then select storage pools from that domain on the storage system to add to the appliance. After you add storage pools, you can assign networks to the storage ports associated with the storage system.

See the HPE OneView Support Matrix for a list of supported storage systems.
