CVAE 6.0 to 7.0 Transition Overview (TB581-96076, June 2011)

Logical Group
Hosts Functionality
The CVAE 6.x logical group “Hosts” functionality has been incorporated into the
“Group of Hosts” logical groups.
User’s logical groups, migrated from CVAE 6.x to CVAE 7.x, will be of type
“Groups of Volumes.
These logical groups cannot be used to allocate volumes to multiple hosts in a
single operation as was possible in CVAE 6.x.
For this capability, the user will need to create new logical groups of type
“Group of Hosts” as appropriate.
Note: When using the “Group of Hosts” logical groups to allocate to multiple hosts, first highlight all
the target hosts in the “Group of Hosts” logical group, then select the “Allocate Volumesbutton.
Old Logical Groups can be removed without impact to either storage or
hosts. Since no data will be unallocated, there is no loss or interruption of
access.
