HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 122)

• All Resources is a resource group that includes all resources managed by Command View AE
Suite. This group is automatically created during installation.
• Default resource groups are resource groups created for each storage system and include all re-
sources in that storage system. This group is automatically created when a storage system is re-
gistered.
• User-defined resource groups are resource groups that the user can define under the P9500 Disk
Array and depend on the operating environment. Resources can be grouped by parity group,
LDEV ID, storage port, etc.
Resource groups, which are user defined, can be set for the P9500 Disk Array. Each resource is
automatically registered in the All Resources and in Default resource groups created for its storage
system (this group cannot be deleted). Note that 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 P9500 Disk Array storage system, you can register
it in only one user-defined resource group. Resources in different P9500 Disk Arrays cannot be
registered in the same 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 storage system, parity group, LDEV ID, storage port, etc.
All of the following resources can be set in order to create a user-defined group. 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. If a user has the
Modify or higher roles for parity groups or THP/Smart pools and an unused Volume 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.
Creating resource groups
Resource groups, which are user defined, can be created for the P9500 Disk Array.
1. On the Administration tab, in the Administration pane, select Resource Groups.
2. Click Create Resource Group.
3. Enter a name and description, and select the storage system providing the resources.
4. Using the tabs, specify the parity groups, LDEVs, ports, or host groups (or a mix of resources) for
the resource group.
5. When done, click OK.
The new resource group is displayed, and can be assigned to an existing user group using the Edit
User Group button. You can also assign resource groups when creating new user groups with Create
User Group.
