How To Install system-storage-manager on Rocky Linux 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install system-storage-manager on Rocky Linux 8.
What is system-storage-manager
System Storage Manager provides an easy to use command line interface to manage your storage using various technologies like lvm, btrfs, encrypted volumes and more. In more sophisticated enterprise storage environments, management with Device Mapper (dm), Logical Volume Manager (LVM), or Multiple Devices (md) is becoming increasingly more difficult. With file systems added to the mix, the number of tools needed to configure and manage storage has grown so large that it is simply not user friendly. With so many options for a system administrator to consider, the opportunity for errors and problems is large. The btrfs administration tools have shown us that storage management can be simplified, and we are working to bring that ease of use to Linux file systems in general. You should install the ssm if you need to manage your storage with various technologies via a single unified interface.
