To add HPE GreenLake for Block Storage to an existing HPE GreenLake account, you need to provide
some basic information to the wizard-driven application in HPE GreenLake Central. According to the
HPE GreenLake for Block Storage Getting Started Guide1, you need to enter the following
information:
Site contact info: This includes the name, email, and phone number of the person who will be the
primary contact for the site where the block storage service will be deployed. This is required to
ensure smooth communication and coordination between HPE and the customer.
Subscription term: This is the duration of the contract for the block storage service, which can range
from 12 to 60 months. This is required to calculate the monthly billing and the minimum committed
capacity for the service.
The other options are not required for the wizard. Reserved capacity is the amount of storage
capacity that the customer wants to reserve for future use, which can be adjusted later. HPE
customer ID is a unique identifier for the customer, which is already associated with the existing HPE
GreenLake account. Datacenter address is the physical location of the datacenter where the block
storage service will be deployed, which is already known to HPE from the previous HPE GreenLake
service. Reference:
