You must reserve a host group ID to be used by the S-VOL in the resource group in the secondary storage system.



Procedure

Reserve a host group ID (CL1-C-0) in resource group (HAGroup1) by using the raidcom add resource command.

raidcom add resource -resource_name HAGroup1 -port CL1-C-0 -IH1

Check command and output examples

Display information about the host group that is set to port (CL1-C) by using the raidcom get host_grp command. Confirm that the port name, host group ID, and host group name are correct.

raidcom get host_grp -port CL1-C -resource 1 -IH1
PORT   GID  GROUP_NAME                       Serial# HMD          HMO_BITs
CL1-C    0  1C-G00                            822222 WIN
Note: If you reserve a host group for which no actual volume is defined in the resource group, specifying the -key host_grp option for the raidcom get host_grp command allows you to display the reserved host group.

The following example shows the result of executing the raidcom get host_grp command.

raidcom get host_grp -port CL1-C -key host_grp -resource 1 -IH1
PORT   GID  GROUP_NAME                       Serial# HMD          HMO_BITs
CL1-C    0  1C-G00                            822222 WIN
CL1-C    1  HAVol                             822222 WIN
CL1-C    2  -                                 822222 -
CL1-C    3  -                                 822222 -
CL1-C    4  -                                 822222 -
CL1-C    5  -                                 822222 -

As shown in this example, the host groups with host group IDs 0 to 5 are reserved in resource group 1. Actual volumes are defined for the host groups with host group IDs 0 and 1. The host groups with host group IDs 2 to 5 are reserved in the resource group, but actual volumes are not defined for them. The host groups with host group IDs 6 to 254 are not displayed, because they are not reserved in resource group 1.
