HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 80)

The following is an example of using resource groups to control access in a HP StorageWorks P9500
Disk Array storage system. One method for division would be to separate resources by company
location. For example, if you create resource groups based on locations, the administrators in each
location can use only the resources that have been assigned to them and are restricted from accidentally
accessing the resources of other locations.
It is also possible to share physical resources (such as parity groups or storage ports) among
departments, and divide only logical resources (such as LDEV IDs or host group numbers) by
department. For example, you can assign resource groups that contain shared physical resources to
all departments and then assign individual resource groups that contain specific logical resources to
the appropriate departments. This allows department administrators to use only the resources assigned
to them, while still allowing for effective sharing of physical resources.
