Understanding groups
You can create groups in Unified Manager to manage storage objects. Understanding the concepts about groups and how group rules enable you to add storage objects to a group will help you to manage the storage objects in your environment.
Adding groups
You can create groups to combine clusters, volumes, and SVMs for ease of management.
Editing groups
You can edit the name and description of a group that you created in Unified Manager.
Deleting groups
You can delete a group from Unified Manager when the group is no longer required.
Adding group rules
You can create group rules for a group to dynamically add storage objects such as volumes, clusters, or SVMs to a group. You must configure at least one condition group with minimum one condition to create the group rule.
Editing group rules
You can edit group rules to modify the condition groups and conditions within the condition group to add or remove storage objects to or from a specific group.
Deleting group rules
You can delete group rules from OnCommand Unified Manager when the group rule is no longer required.
Configuring conditions for group rules
You can configure one or more conditions to create group rules in Unified Manager that are applied on the storage objects. The storage objects that satisfy the group rule are combined into a group.
Adding group actions
You can configure group actions that you want to apply to storage objects in a group in Unified Manager by using the Manage Groups page. Configuring actions for a group enables you to save time from adding the action to each object individually.
Editing group actions
You can edit the group action parameters that you configured in Unified Manager, such as the group action name, description, associated group name, and parameters of the group action.
Configuring volume thresholds for groups
You can configure group-level volume thresholds by using Unified Manager. You can configure volume thresholds for capacity, Snapshot copies, qtree quotas, growth, and Inodes.
Deleting group actions
You can delete a group action from Unified Manager when that group action is no longer required. When you delete the group action for the volume threshold, global thresholds are applied to the storage objects in that group. Any object-level thresholds set on the storage object are not impacted.
Reordering group actions
You can change the order of the group actions to be applied to storage objects in a group. Group actions are applied to storage objects sequentially based on their rank. When you configure a group action, the rank is least. But you can change the rank of the group action depending on your requirements.
