Adding group rules

Contributors
PDFs

You can create group rules for a group to dynamically add storage objects such as volumes, clusters, or storage virtual machines (SVMs) to the group. You must configure at least one condition group with at least one condition to create a group rule.

What you'll need

You must have the Application Administrator or Storage Administrator role.

Storage objects that are currently monitored are added as soon as the group rule is created. New objects are added only after the monitoring cycle is completed.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Storage Management > Groups.

  2. In the Group Rules tab, click Add.

  3. In the Add Group Rule dialog box, specify a name for the group rule.

  4. In the Target Object Type field, select the type of storage object that you want to group.

  5. In the Group field, select the required group for which you want to create group rules.

  6. In the Conditions section, perform the following steps to create a condition, a condition group, or both:
