Managing the Management Console tree
To better manage the servers that appear in the Management Console, you can customize the server
display to fit your needs. You can create groups and move servers to those groups to help you
organize your environment. Within the groups, you can insert, remove, hide or unhide servers. Each
of these functions is detailed in the following sections.
Groups
The left pane of the Management Console is a tree view of the Storage Mirroring servers. By default,
the first group in the tree is the Discovered Servers group. All Storage Mirroring servers that are
automatically discovered will be added to this group. Use server groups in a hierarchical structure to
help you organize your environment.
Creating groups
Use one of the following methods to create a new group:

Right-click anywhere on the left pane of the Management Console and select New, Group.

Right-click on a group icon on the right pane of the Management Console and select New, Group.

Click Add Group on the toolbar.

Use the menu bar and select Insert, Group.
The location of the new group that is created will depend on what was highlighted. If the root of the
tree was highlighted, the new group will be created as a child of the root. If a group or server within
a group was highlighted, the new group will be created as a child of that group. Name the newly
inserted group with a unique name by typing over the default name and pressing Enter. This process
is similiar to naming a new folder in Windows Explorer. You can also rename an established group by
double-clicking on the existing name. Type the new group name over the existing name and press
Enter.
Removing groups
Use one of the following methods to remove a group.

Right-click on a group on the left of the Management Console and select Remove.

Right-click on a group on the right pane of the Management Console and select Remove.

Click Remove Item on the toolbar.

Highlight a group and press the Delete key.
You will prompted to confirm the removal of the group and its subgroups and any servers (displayed
or hidden) contained in them. Click OK.
If Active Directory discovery is enabled on the Management Console, those servers that have Active
Directory advertisement enabled will automatically be repopulated back in the default Discovered
Servers group. If Active Directory discovery is disabled on the Management Console or for individual
servers, servers will need to be manually inserted into the Management Console.
NOTE: The Remove toolbar button also removes servers and replication sets, so make sure you
have the correct item highlighted before clicking the toolbar button.
You cannot remove the default Discovered Servers group.
