Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Edit resource group information

You can edit information about a resource group such as the resource group name, description, and who has access to the resource group information.

1. On the menu bar, click Lifecycle > Resource Groups.
2. On the Resource Groups page, click the resource group.
3. On the Resource Group Details page, in the right pane click Modify.
4. In the Modify Resource Group Information dialog box, modify the Resource Group Name and Resource Group Description that identifies the resource group.

   • To update the firmware and software running on the nodes when you deploy a resource group that uses this template, select Firmware and Software Compliance.

     If you select a minimal compliance version for a resource group, PowerFlex Manager puts the resource group in lifecycle mode and restricts the actions that can be performed. In lifecycle mode, the resource group supports monitoring, service mode, and compliance upgrade operations only. All other resource group operations are blocked.

     NOTE:Changing the firmware repository might update the firmware level on nodes for this resource group. The global default firmware repository maintains firmware on shared devices.
5. Set the OS Image for the resource group.

   You can optionally select a custom operating system image that will be used for future add node operations on the resource group. The custom image must be added to the OS Image Repositories tab on the Settings > Compliance and OS Repositories page.

   PowerFlex Manager filters the list of images available for selection to include only those images that are suitable for the current resource group. For example, if you are editing a hyperconverged resource group, PowerFlex Manager only allows you to choose ESXi images.

6. Specify the permissions for this resource group under Who should have access to the resource group deployed from this template? by performing one of the following actions:
   • To restrict access to super users, select Only PowerFlex SuperUser.
   • To grant access to super users and some specific lifecycle administrators and drive replacers, select the PowerFlex SuperUser and specific LifecycleAdmin and DriveReplacer option, and perform the following steps:
     1. Click Add User(s) to add one or more LifecycleAdmin or DriverReplacer users to the list displayed.
     2. Select which users will have access to this resource group.
     3. To delete a user from the list, select the user and click Remove User(s).
     4. After adding the users, select or clear the check box next to the users to grant or block access.
   • To grant access to super users and all lifecycle administrators and drive replacers, select PowerFlex SuperUser and all LifecycleAdmin and DriveReplacer.
7. Click Save.
