Storage Groups

In an everRun system, a storage group is a collection of logical disks. Multiple storage groups are supported. everRun software creates the Initial Storage Group, which contains all logical disks present at install time. Logical disks added after installation will also appear in the Initial Storage Group unless other storage groups have been created, in which case the logical disk must be explicitly added to a storage group. If a logical disk is empty, you can move it to a different storage group.

With multiple storage groups, you can match application performance requirements to disk capabilities. You can group slower disks in one storage group and higher performance disks in another storage group. You can then assign the volumes of VMs that run more demanding applications to a storage group with higher performance disks.

You can view information about storage group from the Storage Groups page of the everRun Availability Console. For information, see The Storage Groups Page.
