4. Select the PortGroups icon in the right panel of the Edit Port 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 PortGroups icon, your new group appears as a subgroup of
that group. Using Figure 51 as an example, select FastPorts to create a new subgroup within
that group; select PortGroups to create a new group at the same level in the hierarchy as
FastPorts and SlowPorts.
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 port group appears in the right side of the Edit Port Groups window.
7. Select the port group that you created in the right side of the Edit Port Groups window.
8. Select the ports that you want to add to your group from the SAN Elements tab on the left side
of the Edit Ports Groups window; then click the right-arrow to add the port to the group.
To add multiple ports at once, you can either press and hold the Ctrl key as you click additional
ports or drag any node in the tree from the SAN Elements tab to the port group to populate the
group quickly.
To delete ports from the group, select the ports 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 Port Groups window when you are finished adding ports to your group.
The new port group displays in the SAN Elements tab on the left side of the Groups View. You
can click the port group to view its members.
