Volume Groups

Volume groups are organizational units that can contain any grouping of logical volumes and nested volume groups. When you add an Oracle FS System and register it with Oracle VM, any volume groups associated with the Oracle FS System are automatically added under the Oracle FS System in the navigation area. If a LUN is moved to a different Volume Group than it was created in it will never be reflected in the Oracle VM Manager.

To create or delete a volume group, you must use the Oracle FS System or Oracle FS CLI. You cannot make modifications to volume groups through the Oracle VM Manager.

For information about creating or deleting volume groups, refer to the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide or the Oracle Flash Storage System CLI Reference.

Note: After adding a new volume group, you need to refresh the Oracle FS System SAN server for it to recognize the new volume group. See the instructions for adding an Oracle FS System to Oracle VM for information about refreshing the Oracle FS System SAN server.
