Access control examples
The following examples show how resource groups can control access in a HP P9500, HP XP7 system.
One method for dividing resources would be by separating resources based on company location.
For example, if you create resource groups based on location, the administrators in each location
are limited to using only the resources that have been assigned to them, and are restricted from
accessing the resources of other locations.
It is also possible to share physical resources (such as parity groups or storage ports) among
departments, and divide only logical resources (such as LDEV IDs or host group numbers) by
department. For example, you can assign resource groups that contain shared physical resources to
all departments, and then assign individual resource groups that contain specific logical resources to
the appropriate departments. This allows department administrators to use only the resources assigned
to them, while still allowing for effective sharing of physical resources.
