Edit online

A resource pool is a component of the role-based access system, and defines the resources that will be made available to an account.

Procedure

  1. Click the Configure tab. On the Views pane, select Access Control, then select the Resource Pools tab.
  2. Click New. The New Resource Pool editor opens.
  3. Click the Step 1: Providers tab. From the list of available sites and providers, select one or more providers to add to the resource pool. Note that your providers are grouped into sites, which allows you to add entire sites to the resource pool, or specific providers within the site. Individual storage virtual machines and VMware datacenters can also be selected for use with a resource pool.
  4. Click the Step 2: Jobs tab. Select one or more job types, individual custom jobs, schedules, and scripts to include in the resource pool.
  5. Click the Step 3: Reports tab. Select one or more report types or individual reports to include in the resource pool.
  6. Click the Step 4: Applications tab. Select one or more application servers to include in the resource pool.
  7. Click the Step 5: Identities tab. Select one or more keys and credentials to include in the resource pool.
  8. Click the Step 6: Access Control tab. Select security options that will be configurable by accounts associated with this resource pool. Available options include All Roles, All Accounts, All Resource Pools, and All SLA Polices. For example, if All Resource Pools is selected in this step, users associated with this resource pool can create, view, edit, and delete Resource Pools, if paired with the necessary "resourcepool" permission, set on the Roles panel.
  9. Click the Step 7: Screens tab. Select the IBM® Storage Defender Copy Data Management screens to include in the resource pool.
  10. Click the Step 8: Finish tab. Enter a name for your resource pool and a meaningful description. When you are satisfied that the entered information is correct, click Finish. The resource pool appears on the All Resources pane and can be applied to new and existing accounts.
