Storage System Group node

A Storage System Group node represents a group of connected storage systems. Currently this is only for NetApp failover pairs.

Creation/update

A Storage System Group node is created or updated when a Storage System node is created which is one member of a failover pair. When the second member is discovered, it is linked to the corresponding Storage System Group node.

Removal

A Storage System Group node is removed when either member of the failover group is scanned and is no longer in a pair relationship. Also, if both Storage System nodes age out, the Storage System Group node is removed.
