Create a Manual Logical Group

Create a logical group and manually assign drives and media to it. Resources included in the group do not change unless you manually add or remove them.

  1. In the left navigation, expand Setup & Administration, select Logical Groups.
  2. Click Add Logical Group Add Group icon.
  3. Complete the Create Logical Group screen:
    • Logical Group Name — a unique name using a maximum of 249 alphanumeric characters.
    • Logical Group Type — Select Manual
  4. Click Save.
  5. Initially the group will be empty, showing a drive and media count of 0. You must add drives and media to it.

    Proceed to Add Drives and Media to a Manual Logical Group or if creating a group for media validation drive calibration, see Create the Calibration Media Logical Group.

Logical Group Ownership

The STA username that created the logical group also owns that group. The ownership cannot be changed except when the owner is deleted. The logical group owner is displayed on the Logical Groups screen.

When the administrator deletes an STA username, all logical groups owned by that username are automatically deleted or made public, according to the selection made by the administrator (see Add, Modify, or Delete a User).
