Resource groups
Resources can be grouped by system resource types that include storage system, parity group, LDEV
ID, and storage port. There are three types of resource groups:
•
All Resources is a resource group that is created during management server installation and includes
all resources managed by Command View AE Suite.
•
Default resource groups are created when storage systems are discovered and registered, and
include all storage system resources.
•
User-defined resource groups are created for the HP P9500 and depend on the operating envir-
onment. Resources can be grouped by parity group, LDEV ID, or storage port.
Resource groups, which are user defined, can be set for the HP P9500. 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 volumes in that LUSE or THP/Smart pool are also registered in the same resource group.
If the resource is in a HP P9500 storage system, you can register it in only one user-defined resource
group. The only resource group that can be assigned to an externally authorized group is All Resources.

Prerequisites for creating resource groups
Resources are grouped by system resource types that include storage system, parity group, LDEV ID,
and storage port. The following list identifies the conditions for creating a user-defined user group for
the HP P9500.
All of the following resources can be set to create a user-defined group for a HP P9500. However,
the only resource group that can be assigned to an externally authorized group is All Resources:
•
Parity Groups: Includes parity groups and volumes in external storage systems. Users with Modify
or higher roles for parity groups, or the LDEV ID of a THP/Smart pool volume, and an unused
LDEV ID is assigned to the user, the user can create a volume.
•
LDEV IDs: Includes parity groups and volumes in external storage systems. Non-existent ranges
can also be specified. Users with Modify or higher roles for parity groups or THP/Smart pools
and assigned an unused volume ID, can create a volume.
•
Storage Ports: Users with Modify or higher roles for ports and assigned an unused Host Group
Number can create a host group that has that host group number.
•
Host Group Number: Non-existent ranges can also be specified. Users with Modify or higher roles
for ports and assigned an unused Host Group Number can create a host group that has that host
group number.
