System groups
A system group is a group of systems used solely for authorizations. System groups can be managed directly
from the command line interface (CLI) using the mxngroup command, or they can be managed indirectly
through the GUI.
Managing system groups from the GUI
A system group is created when an authorization is created using a system collection. This system group is
named after the collection with three digits appended, usually 001 (for example, All Racks 001). The system
group contains the systems that were displayed during system selection and is saved when the authorization
is created.
NOTE: Any further changes to the system collection do not affect the system group or authorizations,
unless updated by one of the following options.
The content of the system group is updated with the current contents of the collection when:
• Another authorization is created using the collection
• An authorization using the system group is updated
• Using mxngroup from the CLI
In the first two cases, the current contents of the collection are displayed for verification.
When deleting authorizations, a system group that is no longer used in any authorization is deleted.
Managing system groups from the CLI using mxngroup
System groups can be created directly using the mxngroup command. When system groups are created in
this manner, a top-level collection is created and named after the system collection with three digits appended,
usually 001. The collection contains the systems in the system group only when the system group is first
added. Later modifications will not be reflected in the collection.
