HP EMA/ESA/MA Replication Software manual Using group management functions, Modifying a group

Using group management functions

In Enterprise Manager, a group is a logical collection of libraries, NAS shares, CatalystStores, and Teamed CatalystStores that the administrator wants to manage and monitor as a collective set. The administrator can also assign a user or a set of users to a group that provides monitoring access for the group.

After a new device is added to Enterprise Manager, it is added to the Un-Grouped group. Any library, NAS share, CatalystStore, and Teamed CatalystStore can only be part of one group at any time. Because the group works as a collection, an HP StoreOnce device can belong to more than one group at any time. For example, two libraries from an HP StoreOnce device called, Archway13, can belong to ‘HR Group’ and two NAS shares from Archway13 can belong to ‘Admin Group,’ so Archway13 belongs to both ‘HR Group’ and ‘Admin Group.’ However, Archway13 in ‘HR Group’ can monitor only those two libraries. Archway13 in ‘Admin Group’ can monitor only two NAS shares.

Administrators can select Group Management under Administration in the Navigation tree to perform the following procedures:

•“Creating a new group” (page 16), presented in “Configuring the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager” (page 13)

•“Modifying a group” (page 97)

•“Moving a library, NAS share, CatalystStore, or Teamed CatalystStore from one group to another” (page 102)

•“Removing a group” (page 107)
