Properties of resources that can be modified

Edit online

You can modify the properties, such as the name or location, of the resources that are monitored by IBM Spectrum Control.

The following table lists the properties that you can modify for each type of resource:
Resource Properties that can be modified

Storage systems
  • Name (label)
  • Location
  • Custom tags (3)

Pools
  • Tier
  • Back-end storage system type
  • Back-end storage RAID level
  • Back-end storage disk type
  • Back-end storage disks
Tip: You can edit the back-end values if the back-end storage system for the related storage virtualizer was not probed and the values for the pool are unknown. If you manually enter values for these properties, IBM Spectrum Control uses the values to help calculate the approximate read I/O capability of the pool.

Servers

Tip for editing the properties of multiple servers: If you select agentless servers and servers that are monitored by a Storage Resource agent, only the location and custom tag properties are shown on the Edit Properties property notebook. For servers that are monitored by a Storage Resource agent, the OS type property is automatically set when the server is probed and cannot be changed.
