Adding resources manually to applications

You can add resources directly from a resource page to your applications.

About this task

Only the following resources can be added directly to applications:

Data stores
Hypervisors
File Systems (Only server file systems that are monitored through a Storage Resource Agent.)
Filesets
Servers
Shares
Vaults (Cannot be added with the CLI)
Virtual Machines (Only can be added with the CLI modifyappgroup command)
Volumes
Volume Groups

Tip: For any volume that you add to an application, the performance information for that volume, including historical information, is aggregated with the information for the existing volumes.

Note: The application performance feature isn't available to all IBM Spectrum Control users. Look for news from IBM® about when this feature will be available to you.
