4
Editing a switch group
1. Select Tasks > Groups > Manage Switch/Port Groups.
The Groups View displays (Figure 49).
2. Right-click SwitchGroups in the SAN Elements tab on the right side of the window, and select
Edit Switch Groups from the context menu.
Alternatively, you can click the switch group creation icon in the SwitchGroups panel.
The Edit Switch Groups window appears, as shown in Figure 50.
3. Select the switch group that you want to edit from the right side of the window.
4. Add any members from one group to another by dragging the members to another group.
Delete a member from a group by selecting it and clicking Delete.
Rename the group by selecting it and clicking Edit.
5. Click OK to save the changes and close the Edit Switch Groups window.
Port group creation
When you create port groups, it is better to create more port groups with fewer ports in each group
than to create fewer port groups with a lot of ports in each group. The Fabric Manager client
memory usage increases with the number of ports you have in a port group when you view that port
group.
Creating port groups
1. Select Tasks > Groups > Manage Switch/Port Groups.
The Groups View displays (Figure 49).
2. Select My SAN from the tree in the left side of the window.
3. Click the port group creation icon in the PortGroups panel to create port groups.
The Edit Port Groups window appears, as shown in Figure 51.
