ProcedureTo Create a Nested Group

  1. Do one of the following:

    • In the Hosts list, select an existing group. The new group will be a nested group of the selected group. Right-click the selected group and choose Add Group.

    • Do not select a group yet. You can choose the parent group when you create the new group. Click the Add Group button.

    The New Group window opens.

  2. Check the Parent Group field:

    • If you selected a group before opening the New Group window, notice that the name of the selected group appears in the Parent Group field.

    • If you want to assign the new group to a different parent group, including if you did not select a group beforehand, click the Group Select button.

    The Group Selection window opens.

  3. Select one group to be the parent of the new group and then click OK.

  4. Finish creating the new group as in the previous procedure.

Example 4–1 Creating a Group with the CLI

The Add Group command in the CLI can create a top-level group. It has an optional parameter to create a nested group. To add hosts to the created group, use the Add Host to Group command. See Add Group (-ag) Command and Add Host to Group (-ahg) Command.
