Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit SCSI-I-501 Please add formal support for "Storage Groups" on SVC/V7K.

Need "Storage Group" functionality for shared vDisks, as well as support for non-shared vDisks.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We would like functionality to define a "Cluster" on SVC, similar to RFE 26871. (original RFE referred to this as a "Storage Group") This is needed to support our larger VMware clusters and some of our Linux clusters.

In addition to what is being requested in 26871 though, we need the ability to allow for some non-shared vDisks to be mapped to individual hosts that belong to this same cluster. For us, these are typically going to be for our Linux hosts.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Storage
    Product - IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) / Spectrum Virtualize

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Tivoli
    Product family - Storage
    Product - IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) / Spectrum Virtualize

    After reviewing this request we concluded that the function to define a "Cluster" as requested here, would be addressed in the way we have designed to roll out the "Storage Group" implementation in the RFE you already referenced.  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=26871   We will add this to the comments of that RFE as a function needing to be handled and addressed with its eventual roll out.
