HP XP7 Storage - Manual (Page 22)

Example of resource groups not sharing ports
If you assign ports to each resource group without sharing, performance can be maintained on a
different port even if the bulk of I/O is issued from one side port.
The following shows a system configuration example of an in-house system division providing the
virtual private storage system for two divisions. Divisions A and B each use individual assigned
ports and parity groups. In this example, they do not share a port.
The Security Administrator in the system division creates resource groups for each division in the
storage system and assigns them to the respective divisions. The Storage Administrator in Division
A can manage the resource groups for Division A, but cannot access the resource groups for
Division B. In the same manner, the Storage Administrator in Division B can manage the resource
groups for Division B, but cannot access the resource groups for Division A.
Configuration workflow for resource groups not sharing a port
1. The system division forms a plan about creating resource groups and the assigning resources
to the groups.
2. The Security Administrator creates resource groups.
See “Creating a resource group” (page 24) for more information.
3. The Security Administrator creates user groups.
See the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide for more information.
4. The Security Administrator assigns the resource groups to user groups.
See the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide for more information.
5. The Storage Administrator in the system division sets ports.
6. The Security Administrator assigns resources to the resource groups.
See “Adding resources to a resource group” (page 25) for more information.
7. The Security Administrator assigns each Storage Administrator to each user group.
See the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide for more information.
