Adding resources manually to applications

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

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.
To add a resource directly to an application, complete these steps:
  1. On a resource page, right-click a resource and click Add to Application.
    For example, to add a server to an application, in the menu bar, go to Groups > Servers. On the Servers page, select a server from the Servers list, right-click and click Add to Application.
  2. On the Add to Application page, select one or more applications to assign the resource to.
  3. Click Save.

The resource is added to the application and is displayed on the Applications page.
