HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager User Guide

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)
Modifying a group
To modify any group other than Un-Grouped:
1. From the Navigation tree under Administration, click Group Management.
