Creating resource groups and managing storage system resources
You can divide a provisioned storage system into resource groups that allow you to
manage the storage system as multiple virtual private storage systems. Configuring
resource groups involves creating resource groups, moving storage system resources
into the resource groups, and assigning resource groups to user groups.
When to use resource groups
A storage system can connect to multiple hosts and be shared by multiple divisions in a
company or by multiple companies. Many storage administrators from different
organizations can access the storage system. Managing the entire storage system can
become complex and difficult. Potential problems are that private data might be
accessed by other users, or a volume in one organization might be accidentally
destroyed by a storage administrator in another organization.
To avoid such problems, use Hitachi Resource Partition Manager software to set up
resource groups that allow you to manage one storage system as multiple virtual private
storage systems. The storage administrator in each resource group can access only their
assigned resources. Resource groups prevent the risk of data leakage or data destruction
by another storage administrator in another resource group.
Resources such as LDEVs, parity groups, iSCSI targets, external volumes, ports, and host
groups can be assigned to a resource group. These resources can be combined to
flexibly compose a virtual private storage system. You should plan and create resource
groups before creating volumes.
