How to Create Host Sets

This procedure describes how to create host sets by using the browser interface. You can also create host sets by using the following command.

• hdb.hs.add – Creates a host set.

For a detailed description of this command, see Chapter 7, hdb: CLI Commands for Managing Hosts, in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

Before You Begin

To create a host set, you must belong to a user group that has Create, Edit, Delete permission on hosts.

Steps

1. Go to the Host Sets page.

   See How to View Host Sets.

2. In the top row of the Host Sets table, type a name and a brief description for the host set you plan to create and click Create.

   A Details page for the new host set is displayed. This page includes the list of current member hosts and controls to add or remove hosts from the host set.

3. Use the controls on this page to define the host set.

   Each time you add a host, host set, or host search to the host set, the Host Sets page updates the list of hosts in the host set.

4. Click Save.
