This chapter describes All Storage/My Storage logical group operations:
• Overview of All Storage/My Storage Operations (see section 8-1 )
• Viewing the All Storage/My Storage group (see section 8-2 )
• Performing a LUN scan operation (see section 8-3 )
• Allocating storage (see section 8-4 )
• Unallocating storage (see section 8-5 )
• Creating LUSE devices (see section 8-6 )
• Deleting LUSE devices (see section 8-7 )
8-1 Overview of All Storage/My Storage Operations
The All Storage or My Storage logical group is created automatically by Device Manager and is different from
groups created by the user. All Storage displays when you log in to Device Manager as a system administrator,
storage administrator, or guest. When you log in to Device Manager as a local system administrator, local
storage administrator, or local guest, My Storage is displayed. The All Storage/My Storage group is always
displayed and cannot be deleted. All Storage/My Storage includes all LDEVs that the logged-in user can
manage organized into a group for each storage subsystem.
The Open-Allocated and Open-Unallocated groups for each storage subsystem are created automatically by
Device Manager, and the Mainframe-Unspecified group is also added for StorageWorks XP Disk Array. If you
add a new storage subsystem, Device Manager places the LDEVs, with paths allocated on open volumes, in
the Open-Allocated group, and places the LDEVs without any allocated paths in the Open-Unallocated group.
Mainframe volumes for StorageWorks XP Disk Array are placed in the Mainframe-Unspecified group. The All
Storage/My Storage group and its subgroups cannot be deleted.
The All Storage/My Storage group displays the storage subsystems and storage that can be accessed by the
logged-in user, provides detailed information on their properties, and allows logged-in user to configure paths
to LDEVs (the Open-Allocate/Open-Unallocate group).
8-2 Viewing the All Storage/My Storage Group
The All Storage/My Storage group is created automatically by Device Manager and includes all LDEVs that the
logged-in user is permitted to manage. The navigation frame displays the All Storage group for system users or
the My Storage group for local users.
When the All Storage or My Storage object is selected in the navigation frame, the information frame displays
the following information for the All Storage or My Storage group as shown in
Figure 8-1 .
