Grouping objects

During the process of characterizing your installation’s objects, you probably discovered that the objects can be grouped in various ways. OAM uses the following techniques to group objects physically and logically:

Object storage group assignment represents the physical storage, managed by OSMC according to your storage management policy.
Collection assignment represents a logical relationship between objects.

Every object belongs to a collection; every collection belongs to an Object storage group. Each Object storage group can contain one or more collections; however, a collection can never span multiple Object storage groups.
