Adding and Removing UCS Groups

This chapter includes the following sections:

Adding UCS Groups

You can create UCS groups to group together a set of domains with common properties. For example, you can create groups based on locations and add UCS domains in various locations to their respective groups. Similarly, you can create groups based on any criteria of your choice and add the relevant domains matching the criteria. This helps in organizing domains under logical groups. Perform the following steps to add a group under the UCS domain:

Procedure
    Step 1   On the toolbar, click Cisco UCS Manager.
    Step 2   Right-click on UCS Domains.
    Step 3   Click Add Group.

    The Add Group dialog box appears.

    Step 4   Enter the group name in the Group Name field.
    Step 5   Click OK.

    The group with the chosen name appears under the UCS Domains node.

    Note   

    • You can add sub-groups within a group. To add a sub-group, right-click on the group within which you want to add a sub-group and follow steps 3 through 5 in the preceding procedure. You can add up to four levels of sub-groups within a group.

    • You can rename a group by right-clicking on the group and choosing Rename UCS Group.

    • You can add UCS domains within the groups.

    Removing UCS Groups

    Perform the following steps to remove a UCS group:

    Procedure
      Step 1   On the toolbar, click Cisco UCS Manager.
      Step 2   In the UCS Domains node, right-click on the UCS group that you want to delete.
      Step 3   Click Remove UCS Group.

      If the group does not have sub-groups or any UCS domains the group is deleted. Otherwise an appropriate warning message appears indicating that deletion of the group will also delete the sub-groups and unregister any UCS domains within it.

      Step 4   Click OK.

      The UCS domains within the groups chosen for deletion are disconnected are unregistered. And the chosen UCS group and the sub-groups within it are deleted.
