About users and access control settings
After users are registered, you can limit the scope of allowed operations for each user by configuring
access control settings for users and other storage resources.
To set access control you will need to create resource and user groups and then assign the resource
groups and roles to the user groups.
Creating an environment for operating storage systems
To allocate the volumes of the storage system to the host or to the file server, configure the operating
environment beforehand. The workflow for configuring the environment differs depending on the scale
and the operation method of the storage system.
If necessary, virtualize storage devices so that multiple, different storage systems can be used virtually
as a single storage system.
You can create a storage pool such that virtual volumes, whose capacity exceeds the capacity of the
physical volumes, can be allocated to hosts. By virtualizing storage devices or storage capacity, you
can decrease management and operation costs, and thereby optimize total costs.
About allocating storage
To prepare for loss of data caused by equipment failure, you can replicate critical data by allocating
storage volumes based on logical groups.
