Resource Orchestrator provides resource folders for managing groups of multiple resources. Resource folders are used when managing a large number of resources or when you want to divide resources according to certain conditions.
Resource folders can be created in the orchestration tree or the server resource tree.
Resource folders created in the orchestration tree can store the following resources:
L-Servers
Resource Pools
Resource Folders
Resource folders created in the server resource tree can store the following resources:
Chassis
Servers (that are not stored in a chassis)
Resource Folders
There are no conditions for storing resources in resource folders. They can be freely placed as management requires. You can also create hierarchies by storing other resource folders in a resource folder.
Using resource folders enable you to do the following:
Since the number of resources handled at once is reduced, it becomes easier to select resources
Resources can be categorized in detail
Also, in the orchestration tree, the access scope of roles can be restricted and used in combinations to restrict the resource folders that can be accessed for each administrator. This enables you to do the following.
Divide the management scope for each administrator
Link with roles to prevent erroneous operations from being performed on resources outside of the scope of operation privileges
When the access scope is limited to a single resource folder, that resource folder is called the "home folder". By setting a home folder, a folder does not need to be specified for the various operations that normally require a resource folder to be specified.
Resources that can be Registered
Resource folders are managed according to their resource folder type. The resources that can be registered for each resource folder type are indicated below.
Resource Folder Types | Target Resource |
|---|---|
Orchestration (lserver) | L-Servers |
Resource pools | |
Server (server) | Chassis |
Servers | |
Storage (storage) | Virtual storage resources |
