Example of resource groups sharing a port
If you have a limited number of ports, you can still operate a storage system
effectively
by sharing ports using resource groups.
The following example shows the system
configuration
of an in-house division providing
virtual private storage system for two divisions. Divisions A and B each use their own
assigned parity group, but share a port between the two divisions. The shared port is
managed by the system division.
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.
The Security Administrator creates a resource group for managing the common
resources, and the Storage Administrator in the system division manages the port that is
shared between Divisions A and B. The Storage Administrators in Divisions A and B
cannot manage the shared port belonging to the resource group for common resources
management.
Configuration

assignment of the resources.
