Before you begin: You must define an object storage group or object backup storage group, as described in Defining an object storage group and Defining an object backup storage group. After you have supplied all required values on the Object Storage Group Define panel or the Object Backup Storage Group Define panel, the SMS Storage Group Status Define panel is displayed. Only systems and not system groups are shown on this panel, because you cannot connect an object or object backup storage group to a system group.

Perform the following steps to define object or object backup storage group status.

1. Supply values on the SMS Storage Group Status Define panel. The SCDS Name, Storage Group Name and Storage Group Type fields are output fields that contain the information you specified on the Storage Group Application Selection panel.

   The System Name field is also an output field. It lists the systems that you defined in the base configuration.

   The SMS Storage Group Status field lists the relationship between the object or object backup storage group and each system in the SMS complex. For more information, see Attributes for object or object backup storage group status.

2. Use the END command to save your values and return to the Object Storage Group or Object Backup Storage Group Define panel.

3. Use the END command again, on the Object Storage Group or Object Backup Storage Group Define panel, to complete and save the definition of the storage group.
