Using custom group filters
You can also use the following custom group filters to view specific set of LDEV records in the
Custom Groups table:
•
Arrays: Array Names list
•
Hosts list
•
ACPs list
•
Ports list
•
RAID Groups list
The
selection in each filter is independent of the selection in other filters. Example, if Array_1 is
selected
from the Arrays: Array Names list, the Ports and ACPs lists are not updated to display
only
the ports and ACPs that belong to Array_1. They still display all the ports and the ACPs
that
belong to all the monitored XP and XP7 disk arrays.
To filter and view specific set of LDEV records:
1.
Select the values from the above-mentioned custom group filters and click Filter.
The existing set of LDEV records are filtered based on the filter criteria and displayed in the
Custom Groups table.
Click Clear Filter, if you want to restore the default settings across the Custom Groups filters.
This action also displays all the LDEV records in the Custom Groups table. The Custom Groups
screen is refreshed when you click Clear Filter.
2.
Provide a name for the custom group and click Create Custom Group.
Significance of creating custom groups
The following are few examples that signify use of custom groups:
•
XP7
XP Continuous Access Synchronous is installed on an XP24000 Disk Array (primary
storage
server) to create a secondary copy of the production data. The production data is
located
on the primary volume (P-VOL) in the same XP24000 Disk Array. The secondary copy
is
residing on the secondary volume (S-VOL) in an XP12000 Disk Array.
•
The
Oracle database server is located on a P-VOL in an XP24000 Disk Array and the data
is
replicated onto two S-VOLs. One S-VOL is located within the XP24000 Disk Array and
the
data is backed up using the XP7 Business Copy. The other S-VOL is located on a remote
XP
disk array and the data is backed up using the XP7 Continuous Access Synchronous.
