Adding resources to a resource group

Before adding resources to a resource group, consider the following:

• You must have a Security Administrator (View and Modify) role to perform this task.

• No resource can be added to meta_resource.

• Only resources allocated to meta_resource can be added to resource groups.

• LDEVs with the same pool IDs or journal IDs cannot be added to multiple resource groups. For example, when two LDEVs are carved from the same pool, you must allocate both to the same resource group. You cannot allocate them separately. Use the sort function to sort the LDEVs by pool ID or journal ID, select them, and then add them all at once.

• If virtual storage machine attributes differ between meta_resource and the resource group:

• LDEVs cannot be added to the resource group when virtual LDEV IDs are assigned to LDEVs in meta_resource.

• LDEVs and host groups cannot be added to the resource group when LUN paths are assigned to LDEVs and host groups in meta_resource.

To add resources to a resource group:

1. In the Storage Systems tree on the left pane of the main window, click Administration>Resource Groups.

2. Click a resource group to add in the Resource Groups tab.

3. Click Add Resources.

4. Select the type of resources to add in the resource group.

5. Select one or more resources to add to the resource group, then click Add.

6. Click OK, then click Finish.

7. In the Confirm window, confirm the settings, in Task Name type a unique name for this task or accept the default, then click Apply.

If Go to tasks window for status is checked, the Tasks window opens.
