Autonomic groups (host sets, virtual volume sets)

The autonomic groups feature allows users to create host sets and virtual volume sets. Each host set and each virtual volume set can be managed as a single resource. When members are added to a host set or virtual volume set, export actions are applied automatically to the new members.

For example, if a virtual volume set is exported to a host set, each virtual volume in the volume set is exported to each host in the host set. If a host is then added to the host set, the virtual volumes in the virtual volume set are automatically exported to the newly added host. Similarly, if a virtual volume is added to the virtual volume set, the newly added virtual volume is exported automatically to each host in the host set.
