Meta_resource

The meta_resource is a resource group in which additional resources (other than external volumes)
and the resources existing on your storage system before installing Resource Partition belong.
When a storage system is upgraded to include Resource Partition, existing resources initially belong
to meta_resource by default to ensure compatibility with older software.

Resource lock

While processing a task on a resource, all of the resource groups assigned to the logged-on user
are locked for exclusive access.

A secondary window (such as the Basic Information Display) or an operation from the service
processor (SVP) locks all of the resource groups in the storage system.

When a resource is locked, a status indicator appears on the Remote Web Console status bar.
Click the Resource Locked button to view information about the locked resource.

User groups

User groups and associated built-in roles are defined in the SVP. A user belongs to one or more
user groups. Privileges allowed to a particular user are determined by the user group or groups
to which the user belongs.

The Security Administrator assigns resource groups to user groups. A user group may already be
configured, or a new user group may be required for certain resources.

See HP P9000 Remote Web Console User Guide for more information about how to set up user
groups.

Resource group assignments

All resource groups are normally assigned to the Security Administrator and the Audit Log
Administrator.

Each resource group has a designated Storage Administrator who can access only their assigned
resources and cannot access other resources.

All resource groups to which all resources in the storage system belong can be assigned to a user
group. Configure this in Remote Web Console by setting All Resource Groups Assigned to Yes.

A user who has All Resource Groups Assigned set to Yes can access all resources in the storage
system. For example, if a user is a Security Administrator (with View & Modify privileges) and a
