FIGURE 50 Edit Switch Groups window
4. Select the SwitchGroups icon in the right panel of the Edit Switch Groups window.
The group that you create will be nested within the item that you click in this step. If you click
an existing group instead of the SwitchGroups icon, your new group appears as a subgroup of
that group. Using Figure 50 as an example, select BldgA to create a new subgroup within that
group; select SwitchGroups to create a new group at the same level in the hierarchy as BldgA
and BldgB.
After you create a group, you can drag it to a new location in the hierarchy.
5. Click Create.
The Create Group dialog box displays.
6. Type a name for your group in the Name field and click OK.
The new switch group appears in the right side of the Edit Switch Groups window.
7. Select the switch group that you created in the right side of the Edit Switch Groups window.
8. Select the switches that you want to add to your group from the SAN Elements tab on the left
side of the Edit Switch Groups window; then click the right-arrow to add the switch to the group.
To add multiple switches at once, you can either press and hold the Ctrl key as you click
additional switches or drag any node in the tree to add the switches from that node. Drag
switches directly from the SAN Elements tab to the switch group to populate the group quickly.
To delete switches from the group, select the switches in the right side of the window and click
Delete.
To rename the group, select the group and click Edit.
9. Click OK in the Edit Switch Groups window when you are finished adding switches to your
group.
The new switch group displays in the SAN Elements tab on the left side of the Groups View. You
can click the switch group to view its members.
