The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter includes the following sections:
Cisco UCS Central creates a hierarchy of Cisco UCS domain groups for managing multiple Cisco UCS domains. You will have the following categories of domain groups in Cisco UCS Central:
If you have created a domain group policy, a new registered Cisco UCS domain meets the qualifiers defined in the policy, it will automatically be placed under the domain group specified in the policy. If not, it will be placed in the ungrouped domains category. You can assign this ungrouped domain to a domain group.
Each Cisco UCS domain can only be assigned to one domain group. You can assign or reassign membership of the Cisco UCS domains at any time. When you assign a Cisco UCS domain to a domain group, the Cisco UCS domain will automatically inherit all management policies specified for the domain group.
Before adding a Cisco UCS domain to a domain group, make sure to change the policy resolution controls to local in the Cisco UCS domain. This will avoid accidentally overwriting service profiles and maintenance policies specific to that Cisco UCS domain. Even when you have enabled auto discovery for the Cisco UCS domains, enabling local policy resolution will protect the Cisco UCS domain from accidentally overwriting policies.
The following example shows how to create a domain group:
UCSC# connect policy-mgr UCSC(policy-mgr)# scope domain-group UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group # create domain-group 12 UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group* # commit-buffer UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group #
The following example shows how to delete a domain group:
UCSC# connect policy-mgr UCSC(policy-mgr)# scope domain-group UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group # delete domain-group 12 UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group* # commit-buffer UCSC(policy-mgr) /domain-group #
The following example shows how to assign membership to a Cisco UCS domain:
UCSC# connect resource-mgr UCSC(resource-mgr)# scope domain-mgmt UCSC(resource-mgr) /domain-mgmt # show ucs-membership UCS-Domain Group Membership: Mgmt IP Qualification Type Domain Group DN --------------- ------------------ --------------- IP Address Manual domaingroup-root UCSC(resource-mgr) /domain-mgmt # scope ucs-membership IP Address UCSC(resource-mgr) /domain-mgmt/ucs-membership # set domain-group WORD Domain Group DN UCSC(resource-mgr) /domain-mgmt/ucs-membership #
