A management controller is provided for provisioning a server with local storage. The management controller receives a service profile that includes a set of local storage criteria. The management controller associates the first service profile with a physical server, and directs a storage controller to create one or more virtual drives that conform to the set of local storage criteria. The management controller provides local storage for the physical server from the virtual drive.
