Chapter 21 Resource Folder Operations
This appendix explains resource folders, which are used when managing a large number of resources or when you want to divide resources
according to certain conditions.
Resource Folders
Resource folders are used when managing a large number of resources or when you want to divide resources according to certain conditions.
Resources stored in resource folders can be freely placed. Using hierarchical folders, other resource folders can be stored in the resource
folders.
Resource folders enable you to do the following:
- Since the number of resources selected at the same time is reduced, selection is simplified.
- Resources can be categorized in detail.
You may want to share some resources between departments in case of future changes or faults while maintaining the segregation of
resources for each department.
Tenants
In Resource Orchestrator, the unit for division of management and operation of resources based on organizations or operations is called
a tenant.
L-Servers and dedicated resource pools for each tenant are stored, in tenants. The exclusive resource pool for each tenant is called a local
pool.
There is a resource pool which can be used by multiple tenants, other than a local pool. This resource pool is called a global pool.
Resource Orchestrator enables operation of tenants through division of resources on a tenant level, as well as by user groups, and
combinations of scopes configured to divide resources.
Perform the following settings to share and segregate resources without combining them by tenants:
- Create a tenant for each department
When creating a tenant, batch creation or setting of user groups, users, or resource pools can be performed.
Local pool creation or global pool selection can be performed for each resource pool.
Additionally, when using a tenant only within a department, create a local pool.
When sharing a tenant between multiple departments, select an existing global pool.
When using tenants to segregate resources, the following operations are limited:
- A powered on L-Server cannot be moved to another tenant.
Stop the L-Server before moving it.
- Resources used by powered on L-Servers, and resource pools or resource folders that contain those resources cannot be moved to
another tenant.
Stop the L-Servers before moving them.
- L-Servers that are using resources in another tenant cannot be started.
Required resources must be placed in the same tenant or the same global pool as the L-Server.
