About resource groups
Resources can be grouped by system resource types that include storage system, parity group, LDEV
ID, and storage port. There are several types of resource groups:
•
All Resources is a resource group that is created during management server installation and includes
all resources managed by XP7 Command View AE. For example, a user who is a member of one
of the built-in user groups for All Resources has access to all storage systems.
•
Default ResourceGroup is the name for default resource groups that are created as storage systems
are discovered and registered. A user who is a member of a user group in a default resource
group has access to all of the storage system resources.
•
Resource pool is another type of resource group. A resource pool is a resource group to which
resources of a virtual storage machine in an HP XP7 belong, when the resources have not been
added to any individual resource group. There are two types of resource pools. There are resource
pools on the default virtual storage machine, and resource pools that are automatically created
on user-defined virtual storage machines. You can check the resource pools on user-defined virtual
storage machines from the resource group list.

User-defined resource groups defining more specific storage access can be created for the HP
P9500, HP XP7 and depend on the operating environment. Resources can be grouped by parity
group, LDEV ID, or storage port. Resource group definitions in Device Manager are applied to
the storage system when using the HP XP7. However, these resource group definitions are not
applied to other storage systems.
Resource groups, which are user-defined, can be set for the HP P9500 or HP XP7. Only default
resource groups are created for other storage systems. Each resource is automatically registered in
the All Resources and in Default resource groups created for its storage system (this group cannot be
deleted). If a volume that is part of a LUSE or THP/Smart pool is registered in a resource group, other
