Meta_resource
The meta_resource is a resource group comprised of additional resources (other than
external volumes) and the resources that exist on the storage system before the
Resource Partition Manager is installed. By default, existing resources initially belong to
the meta_resource group to ensure compatibility with older software when a system is
upgraded to include Resource Partition Manager.
Resource lock
While processing a task on a resource, all of the resource groups assigned to the logged-
on user are locked for exclusive access.
A secondary window (such as the
Basic Information Display
) or an operation from the
service processor (SVP) locks all of the resource groups in the storage system.
When a resource is locked, a status indicator appears on the Device Manager - Storage
Navigator status bar. Click the Resource Locked button to view information about the
locked resource.
User groups
User groups and associated built-in roles are
defined
in Device Manager - Storage
Navigator. A user belongs to one or more user groups. Privileges allowed to a particular
user are determined by the user group or groups to which the user belongs.
The Security Administrator assigns resource groups to user groups. A user group might
already be
configured,
or a new user group might be required for certain resources.
Resource group assignments
All resource groups are normally assigned to the Security Administrator and the Audit
Log Administrator.
Each resource group has a designated Storage Administrator who can access only their
assigned resources and cannot access other resources.
All resource groups to which all resources in the storage system belong can be assigned
to a user group.
Configure
this in Device Manager - Storage Navigator by setting All
Resource Groups Assigned to Yes.
