Creating
Groups
You create HP EFS WAN Accelerator groups in the Appliance Groups page.
You should consider creating many, modular groups to facilitate mass configuration
(configuration push) and aggregated reporting. For example, you might want to create
two categories of groups: configuration groups and reporting groups. For
configuration groups, you would enable auto-configuration, configuration pushes, and
backup options.
An appliance can belong to more than one group.
For detailed information about the relationship between profiles, groups, and
appliances, see
“HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager Configuration Objects” on
page 16 .
To create an appliance
group 1. Click the Setup Appliances tab to expand the Setup Appliances menu.
2. Click Groups in the left menu to display the Appliance Groups page.
