Configuring groups
You can create groups to contain nodes that represent the Storage Mirroring servers.
The benefit of creating groups is the ability to run reports against all nodes within that
group.
Creating a group
To create a group:
1. Click to select a folder in the navigation tree under which you want to create a
group.
2. Select Node, New, New Group from the main menu. The Group Properties dialog
box appears.
3. Enter the name of the group node in the Name field. This field is mandatory and
group node names must be unique.
4. Enter a description of the group in the Description field.
5. Click OK.
Groups appear as folders in your view. See Configuring views for information about the
Storage Mirroring Reporting Center view.
Creating nodes within a group
To create nodes within a group, you can cut and paste existing nodes into the newly-
created group folder:
1. You can create new nodes inside the group folder. See Creating nodes for more
information about creating nodes.
2. Alternatively, if you have existing nodes that you want to move into a group, select
a node and select Edit, Cut from the main menu. Select the group folder by
clicking it. Select Edit, Paste from the main menu. The node is moved from its
existing location in the navigation tree to the group folder.
Unassigning a group
To unassign a group:
1. Select the group and select Node, Unassign Node from the main menu. The
Unassign Confirmation dialog box appears.
2. Click Yes.
Deleting a group
Unassigning a node does not delete it from Storage Mirroring Reporting Center. To
delete a node, you must delete it using the Node Editor.
