Resource group rules, restrictions, and guidelines

Rules
The maximum number of resource groups that can be created on a storage system is 1023.
A Storage Administrator with the Security Administrator (View & Modify) role can create
resource groups and assign resources to resource groups.
Resources removed from a resource group are returned to meta_resource.
Only a Security Administrator (View & Modify) can manage the resources in assigned resource
groups.
Restrictions
No new resources can be added to meta_resource.
Resources cannot be deleted from meta_resource.
LDEVs that has the same pool IDs or the journal IDs cannot be added to multiple resource
groups.
In the case of adding LDEVs that are used as pool volumes or journal volumes, add all the
LDEVs that have the same pool IDs or journal IDs by using a function such as sort.
Host groups that belong to the initiator port cannot be added to a resource group.
Guidelines
If you are providing a virtual private storage system to different companies, you should not
share parity groups, external volumes, or pools if you want to limit the capacity that can be
used by each user. When parity groups, external volumes, or pools are shared between
multiple users, and if one user uses too much capacity of the shared resource, the other users
might not be able to create an LDEV.
