Modifying a dynamic user-defined group

MAPS allows you to change the definition pattern used to specify a dynamic user-defined group after
you have created it.

To modify a dynamic user-defined group after you have created it, complete the following steps.

NOTE
The values for group_name and feature_name must match existing values for the group and feature
names. You can only specify one feature as part of a group definition.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter logicalGroup --update group_name -feature feature_name -pattern pattern.
3. Optional: Enter logicalGroup --show group_name -details to view the group membership.

The following example changes the node WWN of the attached devices in
Group_001 to start with 30:08:01.

switch:admin> logicalgroup --update Group_001 -feature nodewwn -pattern "30:08:01*"

NOTE
You can also use the logicalGroup --addmember group_name -members
member_list and logicalGroup --delmember group_name -members
member_list commands to explicitly modify group membership.

For more information on the logicalGroup command, refer to the Fabric OS
Command Reference
.

Cloning a group

MAPS allows you to clone any predefined, static, or dynamic user-defined group.

To clone a group, complete the following steps.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter logicalgroup --clone existing_group_name -name new_group_name.

You can now modify the new group.

The following example clones the predefined group “ALL_TARGET_PORTS” as
“ALL_TARGET_PORTS-LR_5”.

switch:admin> logicalgroup --clone ALL_TARGET_PORTS -name ALL_TARGET_PORTS-LR_5

Deleting groups

The logicalGroup --delete group_name command allows you to remove any logical group of
monitoring elements other than the predefined groups.

You cannot delete a group that is used by any rules. Adding the -force option to this command
overrides the default behavior and forces the deletion all the rules that are configured with the given
