each division in the storage system and assigns them to the respective
divisions. The Storage Administrator in Division A can manage the resource
groups for Division A but cannot access the resource groups for Division B. In
the same manner, the Storage Administrator in Division B can manage the
resource groups for Division B but cannot access the resource groups for

Meta_resource
The meta_resource is a resource group comprised of additional resources
(other than external volumes) and the resources that exist on the storage
system before the Resource Partition Manager is installed. By default,
existing resources initially belong to the meta_resource group to ensure
compatibility with older software when a system is upgraded to include
Resource Partition Manager.
Resource lock
While processing a task on a resource, all of the resource groups assigned to
the logged-on user are locked for exclusive access.
A secondary window (such as the Basic Information Display) or an
operation from the service processor (SVP) locks all of the resource groups in
the storage system.
When a resource is locked, a status indicator appears on the Device Manager
- Storage Navigator status bar. Click the Resource Locked button to view
information about the locked resource.
User groups
User groups and associated built-in roles are defined in Device Manager -
Storage Navigator. A user belongs to one or more user groups. Privileges
