Managed sets concepts

Managed sets overview

A managed set is a named set of resources that can be acted on as a single entity. For example,
the managed set Sales_Disks might include two virtual disks, West_Sales and East_Sales.

Performing an action on a managed set performs the action on all the members in the set. For
example, if you perform the New Snapshot action on the managed set Sales_Disks, the replication
manager creates a snapshot of West_Sales and a snapshot of East_Sales.

Set types

When you create a managed set, you must specify its resource type. After the set is created, you
can only add members of that resource type The following resource types are supported.

Membership

A specific resource can be a member of more than one managed set.

The order in which members are added to, or appear in, a managed set does not affect the
order in which actions are performed on the set's members.

Performing actions on a large managed set (a set with many members) can take a long time.
For flexibility, consider using several small managed sets rather than a single large set.

Managed sets of DR groups

Managed sets of DR groups require careful planning. Consider the following guidelines.

Some DR group actions are permitted only on source DR groups; other actions are only
permitted only on destination DR groups. See

Using DR group actions

.

HP recommends that you create separate managed sets for source and destination DR groups.
When you conduct failover operations, you can perform the actions that correspond to the
new roles of the managed set.
