User-defined groups

Create new groups and manage existing ones.

Click Manage Custom Groups task under the Configuration category from the taskpad to create your own group that you want to work with.

To create a group, do the following:

1. Select one or more resources (for example: servers, partitions, frames) that you want to include in the group you want to work with.
2. Click Manage Custom Groups.
3. Select Create a new group, specify a group name and description, and then click OK. The new user-defined group is displayed in the navigation pane under Custom Groups.

You can also create a group by using the pattern match method. To use the pattern match method, do the following:

1. Without selecting an object, click Manage Custom Groups from the Custom Groups or Systems Management taskpad.
2. From the Create Pattern Match Group window, select one or more group types that you want to create, specify a group name, description, and the pattern used to determine if an object should be part of the group. Click OK to complete. The new user-defined group is displayed in the navigation pane under the Custom Groups node.
   Note: Patterns specified in the Managed Resource Pattern input field are regular expressions. For example, if you specified abc.*, all the resources that begin with abc will be included in that group.
