Creating and Managing Groups
Creating a group of servers gives an opportunity for the data center administrator to put some human logic around the servers
and devices found in the data center. In this test bed, we have two systems which is very simple, but with most enterprise data
centers there are thousands of nodes and devices to manage so physical and logical groups are required to ensure you have a good
understanding of power monitoring and control.
In the main Power Center screen, select Group Management and click Create or Select a Physical Group to create a new data center.
This will be the premise for the sub-groups that we will create to place the devices that we’ve found to meet the usage model
guidelines.

chassis. To start your physical group creation at the data denter level, follow the steps below.
