Creating a service group
A service group provides a convenient way to apply tags and security settings to a group of storage
services.
For example, a group of volumes can be provisioned for a specific purpose, such as for boot volumes.
Create the service group, place the volumes into it, and apply the boot tag to the service group. As
a result, all volumes in this service group inherit the boot tag. Requests that need a volume with a
boot tag can be matched to any of the volumes in this service group.
Service groups are typically created for volumes associated with various uses and applications, such
as boot operations, exchange, and SQL databases.
To create a new service group:
1. From the Global menu, select Catalog > New > Service Group.
Alternatively, from the Navigation tree, select Service Groups, then click the Actions New Service
Group button.
The Service Group Properties dialog box displays.
