HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.1 User Guide

Create security groups
As part of the default security configuration, a Root Security Group (parent) and Consumer Group
(child) are setup within the Security Groups content pane. The user is free to use, change or extend
this set as desired.

networks, templates) available to Matrix OE.

The Create Security Group dialog box appears.
5. Fill in the required information, noted by a red asterisk, on each tab of the dialog box
(Overview, Access Control).
