volumes in that LUSE or THP/Smart pool are also registered in the same resource group. For the HP
XP7, when you register a part of a parity group that is part of a concatenated parity group to a
resource group, other parity groups that are a part of the concatenated parity group will also be
registered in the same resource group automatically. If the resource is in a HP P9500 or HP XP7
system, you can register it in only one user-defined resource group. The only resource group that can
be assigned to an externally authorized group is All Resources.

Prerequisites for creating resource groups
Resources are grouped by system resource types that include storage system, parity group, LDEV ID,
and storage port.
The following list identifies the conditions for creating a user-defined user group for the HP P9500,
HP XP7.
All of the following resources can be set to create a user-defined group for a HP P9500, HP XP7.
However, the only resource group that can be assigned to an externally authorized group is All
Resources:
•
Parity Groups: Includes parity groups and volumes in external storage systems. Users with Modify,
Storage Administrator (Provisioning), or higher roles for parity groups, or the LDEV ID of a THP/
Smart pool volume, and an unused LDEV ID is assigned to the user, the user can create a volume.
For the HP XP7, when you register a part of a parity group that is part of a concatenated parity
group to a resource group, other parity groups that are a part of the concatenated parity group
will also be registered in the same resource group automatically.
•
LDEV IDs: Includes parity groups and volumes in external storage systems. Non-existent IDs can
also be specified. Users with Modify, Storage Administrator (Provisioning), or higher roles for
parity groups or THP/Smart pools and assigned an unused volume ID, can create a volume.
•
Storage Ports: Users with Modify, Storage Admininstrator (Provisioning), or higher roles for ports
and assigned an unused Host Group Number can create a host group that has that host group
number.
•
Host Group Number: Non-existent numbers can also be specified. Users with Modify, Storage
Administrator (Provisioning), or higher roles for ports and assigned an unused Host Group Number
can create a host group that has that host group number.
