To Create a Server Group

This task shows you how to create groups of discovered, or provisionable, servers. Provisionable servers can belong to more than one server group, so you can create new server groups for aggregate maintenance tasks, as needed.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

2. Type the following command:

   N1-ok> create group group

   The new group is created. See create group in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Command Line Reference Manual for details.
